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