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

A bit gusty and had t' angle rocket away from nearby stream and trees. Blimey! Blimey! Rocket still went somewhat close t' said stream, ya bilge rat, but broke apart at apogee and came down a nice mess. Wind blew rocket back towards mud field and rocket landed just short o' a ravine. Begad! Blimey! Recovered in good shape however one fin had a dent...likely due t' t' rocks in t' dirt pile it had landed on. D12-3s are good for this rocket!
