Custom mod o' ACME Spitfire for Break-away action. Arrr! Fun build! Each section o' t' rocket "Breaks Apart" and is attached t' a Keelhaul®©™ line. Avast, me proud beauty! I've also made it so that t' launch rod fits right through t' middle o' t' rocket rather than outside launch lugs/standoffs. Ahoy!
3/20/15 - Added Chenille Stem Wile E. Ya scallywag! Coyote as a finishin' touch. Avast! Nay bad for me first try at "pipe cleaner art" if I say so myself! :)

Another good flight! Rocket seemed t' veer away from t' wind a bit off t' rod. At apogee, it didn't separate completely (C11s seem t' nay have enough "oomph"...will try D12-3s once I get more); however top 2 sections and bottom did separate and top black streamer came out (second streamer didn't). Avast, me proud beauty! Came down in a mess o' black streamer and rocket body parts, which was actually what I was aimin' for! =D No damage, so another successful flight.
Flight grounds are now too wet for further launches, arrr, so I'll have t' wait until me club range opens. Lookin' forward t' flyin' this again!
