Good flight, me hearties, but almost lost her!  Lego themed rocket (no Kragle!).  Used a C6-3 and rocket really scooted high up thar in t' sky!  Upon ejection, it broke apart and started floatin' away in t' high winds.  Luckily it finally started nose down at t' far edge o' me field and landed in some lower branches o' a tree about 8' up. Begad!  I got a long pole and was able t' extricate despite havin' t' fight t' tree for about 20 minutes!  Be careful flyin' this one on windy days...you'd think a break-apart rocket would fall straight down, me hearties, but this one is so light that it can start t' snake/float away.
