Next be me zombie rocket, t' Lunar Eclipse Jr. Arrr! I’d seriously considered flyin' it on an E9-6, t' same motor that damaged it with a cato last summer, but I chickened out and loaded up a CTI E22 Smoky Sam. It curved back over t' flight line and toward Turner Road. Aye aye! I thought it might have landed in Turner Road, so I hurried out without first gettin' landmarks for t' line it was on. Aye aye! It wasn’t in t' road, but despite t' fluorescent orange 18″ Top Flight chute, I didn’t see it off t' road either, for a while. Finally I spotted t' chute, well off t' road on t' other side in t' field. T' rocket be fine but t' 24 mm casin' had been kicked. Stupid. Well, blow me down! I’d been a little worried about retention, it just bein' a hook, but I’d talked myself into believin' it was sufficient.

Well, anyway, shiver me timbers, it flew. Begad! Didn’t hang on t' rod, didn’t explode, didn’t get lost or run over or hung in a tree. It may still be cursed, but it’s kind o' a lame curse.
