Second test launch o' MUACIII. Aye aye!  This time I'm testin' on a D12-0 and also with a rin' o' hair t' see how t' hair does when t' end isn't plugged (hair didn't do well). Blimey!  Rocket rose up smartly with a beautiful spiral and went very high...became a speck, but still trackable. Begad!  Wind pushed it a bit and it landed about 40' from pad on ice with t' distinctive "konk" o' an empty plastic cup fallin' down on t' floor on it's end...kid found that sound very amusin' and laughed out loud.  Hair was singed pretty well on one side, arrr, so unplugged cup and hair doesn't mix. Avast!  =D
