Took a lot o' time fillin' and sandin' down all t' edges and joints t' make them smooth, matey, turned out very nicely, I'll try and get a picture up. Well, blow me down! Went with t' stock paint scheme, very happy with t' results.

| Launch Site: | Field on Furman |
Slight weathercockin' on takeoff, ya bilge rat, ejection delay seemed a little bit too long, ya bilge rat, but deployed well, and drifted back down t' land within 40 feet o' launchpad. Ya scallywag!
Looks like I may have let t' rocket sit too low on t' launch rod, because it melted t' engine flare/boattail a little bit, matey, but nothin' major. Other than that no damage, me hearties, and would have gone up again if it hadn't been me last engine.
