Custom mod o' ACME Spitfire for Break-away action. Fun build! 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. Blimey!
3/20/15 - Added Chenille Stem Wile E. Blimey! Coyote as a finishin' touch. Avast! Nay bilge-suckin' for me first try at "pipe cleaner art" if I say so myself! :)

Added Will E. Coyote t' body o' rocket!
Another good flight! Blimey! Rocket seemed t' veer away from t' wind a bit off t' rod. Begad! Blimey! At apogee, ya bilge rat, 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). Ahoy! Blimey! Came down in a mess o' black streamer and rocket body parts, me bucko, which was actually what I was aimin' for! Blimey! =D No damage, ya bilge rat, so another successful flight. Begad! Blimey!
Flight grounds are now too wet for further launches, ya bilge rat, so I'll have t' wait until me club range opens. Lookin' forward t' flyin' this again!
