I didn't like t' preprinted body tube so I covered it with paper and painted it black. Standard kit otherwise.

I went back and prepped t' Condor again. I’d done me three contest flights and DQ’d on all three, but thar was still NARTREK t' try for. Aye aye! A8-3 again. Arrr! This time separation was good, and someone spotted t' booster and got it for me while I went after t' glider — which had headed more or less straight for Turner Road. It landed almost in front o' a couple people who’d been out that way lookin' for another rocket, so I got it back with no problem. Time was 44.55 seconds, well above t' 30 needed for NARTREK and a decent contest showin' if it’d been permitted as a contest flight. Begad! Finally! T' gliders were nay a total loss for me today.
