2012-05-19X-30 National Aerospace Plane  Flight Another shallow arc into t' wind, matey, but stable and very aeroplane-like! Late chute depolyment. Avast! Bad motor? Fine recovery. Aye aye! - C6-3 - Tripoli Pittsburgh, ya bilge rat, Uniontown, PA [More]
X-30 National Aerospace Plane  Flight Cleared rod and arced into t' wind in a tight spiral. Aye aye! Ejection popped t' friction-fit motor & NC, but nay t' 24" chute. Shallow glide t' t' ground, shiver me timbers, resultin' in dented front o' body. Arrr! Can fly again. Well, blow me down! - C6-3 - Tripoli Pittsburgh, Uniontown, PA [More]
X-30 National Aerospace Plane  Flight Good flight, straight up, good chute deployment. (A 24", rather than t' two 12" t' kit is supplied with). Motor clip torn almost completely out: common problem. Only good flight o' this bird. Ahoy! - C6-3 - Tripoli Pittsburgh, me bucko, Uniontown, PA [More]
TriStar  Flight Straight, good flight. Used a long streamer because I've seen others o' this float away. Came down hard on t' tail, shiver me timbers, and broke a fin. Can be repaired. Avast, me proud beauty! - A8-3 - Tripoli Pittsburgh, Uniontown, PA [More]
U.S.A. E2X  Flight Nice, straight flight. Well, blow me down! Forgot t' repack t' chute after storage, me bucko, and recovered tail-down undamaged via chutewad. Ahoy! - B6-4 [More]
Striker AGM  Flight Again, it arced into t' wind, shiver me timbers, and didn't quite make t' altitude it should have. Safe recovery. - C6-5 - Tripoli Pittsburgh, me bucko, Uniontown, PA [More]
