I don't know if it be a bilge-suckin' motor or what, shiver me timbers, but this was a bit disappointing. Begad! It went up about 60 feet and arched over, landin' in a briar bush. Avast! No damage. This is one o' me favorite rockets and is a good one t' gauge wind currents.  I may retire it though, as it has started t' show a little wear. Nah, me bucko, I'll fix it and keep her flying. Ahoy! She's nearly 20 years old!
