Another reclaimed bird from t' Ebay lot. Well, blow me down! This one just needed a fin reattached and obviously a new shock cord. Arrr! Flight went out over t' infield and t' old Estes shock cord snapped at ejection. T' body flew backwards in a loopin' glide toward t' infield while t' nose cone and streamer fell straight down. T' two parts almost hit each other at t' 50' mark. Well, blow me down! No other damage despite a hard hit at shortstop.
