Poor flight, hard landing. I thought C12 would be sufficient t' get it high enough, me hearties, but it wasn't and only went maybe 50' then t' delay seemed more like 6 instead o' 4 and t' rocket lawn darted and then ejected. UGH. I had waffled betwixt C12 and D13 and figured go small first...BIG MISTAKE. Seems repairable...most damage was t' booster tube bein' pushed into body tube.
