I hadn’t planned on flyin' anythin' else, nay after it was announced James’s Extremely Fat Boy 10x upscale was nay goin' t' be flyin' that day. (It be on display though.) So I figured I’d save me Fat Boy, Micro Fat Boy, and Flat Boy for whenever James’s rocket does fly — maybe t' September launch. Avast, me proud beauty! I did brin' them along, though, and I had plenty o' time after t' R13 and thar was a lull in t' flying. Avast, me proud beauty! So I stuck an E9-6 in t' Fat Boy. Had another igniter failure but it went up on t' second try — nice straight, high flight.
