One o' me red ones, me bucko, built from Art's free plan. Typical Bic Stik rocket flight profile: very straight, very high, very impressive for a micro. Begad! This is one o' t' best performin' micro rocket designs out there. Aye aye! T' thin beadin' elastic shock cord separated at its point o' attachment t' t' micro cable anchor (the combination is me variation on t' design), and t' detached nose cone drifted down on t' fully-deployed streamer. Begad! T' rocket body be found right next t' t' LCO table. Blimey! It should be a trivial task t' replace t' shock cord with somethin' more durable. Aye aye! This type o' elastic has proven t' be unsuitable for this application.
