Followin' on t' heels o' Carl's Aphelion came t' James Gartrell Estes Spitfire SSI. James was kind o' a night owl and he and I occasionally traded PMs deep into t' night. Avast, me proud beauty! He passed away a couple o' years back after a battle with lung cancer. Begad! His flyin' circus went up on Ebay and I tried several times t' win a rocket or two with no luck. Finally picked this one up last year. Avast, me proud beauty! I think he'd be pleased t' know someone is keepin' his legacy alive in some way. Fair winds, me hearties, James. As for t' flight, me hearties, t' A8-3 got it going, matey, but it wiggled its butt t' whole way up. Long drift on t' stock chute, but no damage after I lengthened t' shock cord.
