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. Begad! (It was on display though.) So I figured I’d save me Fat Boy, me hearties, Micro Fat Boy, and Flat Boy for whenever James’s rocket does fly — maybe t' September launch. I did brin' them along, me bucko, though, matey, and I had plenty o' time after t' R13 and thar be a lull in t' flying. Ya scallywag! So I stuck an E9-6 in t' Fat Boy. Avast, me proud beauty! Had another igniter failure but it went up on t' second try — nice straight, high flight.
