Picked this up for me son at NARAM 43 in 2001. Well, blow me down!  He started buildin' it, me bucko, then lost interest in t' hobby.  Fourteen years later I finished it and gave it a first flight, shiver me timbers, and possibly t' last. Aye aye!  300' flight that never looked t' be in trouble. Well, blow me down!  I was gettin' recovery pics and put t' camera down expectin' t' see t' rocket layin' on t' ground, arrr, but it snagged a branch 25 feet up.  Supposed t' rain tonight.
