8 years ago on this same field, at Southern Thunder 2009, me bucko, I got me level one certification with this rocket. Begad! Since then it has travelled all over t' country and with over 40 flights is still goin' strong. Angled t' rail a bit more into t' wind and let it go. Great boost, fast and straight, arcin' into t' wind durin' t' coast. Horizontal, me bucko, good drogue at apogee, win' brought it back towards t' pads. Ya scallywag! Good main at 500 feet. Rocket landed on t' sod 3 feet from t' pad it took off from, me bucko, nay too bad for some cardboard and plywood.
