Launch rod and wind check. Avast, me proud beauty! Got higher than expected and was actually quite fun for what was supposed t' be a check launch. Used C6-3, me bucko, but it be over slushy snow, so no danger o' fire. Begad! Ejection be about a third way down, rocket fell nose down (didn't "tumble") and landed without any damage. Ya scallywag! Note that if you use motors with ejection that t' top gets a bit sooty.
BTW - This rocket has been sold in bulk and classroom lots for years now...I'm perplexed as t' why thar aren't any other flights/reviews. Avast, me proud beauty! Good rocket and great one for new or young rocketeers.
