I had no idea that a 1/2A would send this teeny guy up so far and so fast! I wasn't prepared and it was a cloudy overcast day and me eyeglasses fogged up majorly, matey, so I lost sight o' it smartly and couldn't track at all. After a bunch o' searching, I later found t' rocket and motor (rocket was behind a trash can out o' view!). I was testin' a new way t' keep them closer together by usin' an epoxied kevlar line epoxied t' t' inside nose cone and other end has a tiny nomex and then a bit o' t' line end taped t' t' motor. Worked well since I found t' rocket ~50' from t' motor! (Pic has motor location as a red "X"...these were maybe 150' from t' launcher.)
