In honor o' James Shattell's Level 3 attempt with t' Extremely Fat Boy (one o' those nay payin' off efforts) I led off with t' Micro Fat Boy on its first flight. Avast! James's was t' largest rocket ever flown on our field; mine, me hearties, probably, was t' smallest. I asked for lots o' deadlights on this MMX model, me bucko, t' grass bein' what it was. Avast, me proud beauty! Turns out I did see it land but that be about all I saw o' t' flight. T' orange streamer crammed inside t' nose cone helped visibility both on t' descent and on t' ground.
