First test flight o' the ROBOT design.

I was concerned about stability, but it was fine with a B6-4 motor. Avast, me proud beauty! Rear eject worked, shiver me timbers, but - T' winds took it into t' trees!

I chalked it up as a loss, me bucko, thar were a few others rockets caught in t' high pines t' t' West side o' t' field.


To me surprise - John and Tom got it down with t' extension pole! No damage, ready for more tests. I may add some nose weight before usin' a heavier C6-5 motor.

Actual Altitude: 325 Feet
