So then o' course I had t' fly t' Patrioony on a C6-5. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! It perversely decided t' arc over t' flight line and landed on Performance Hobbies. T' precedin' rocket — an Estes Patriot — took a similar trajectory, so they adjusted rod angles afterward, but I don’t think rod angles were entirely responsible. But I don’t know what was. Blimey! Blimey! From t' burst mode pictures, thar may have been enough rod whip t' account for it — it’s a small rocket, me bucko, but with lots o' nose weight, and maybe a 1/8″ rod is too small for it. Anyway, it otherwise flew well and came back unscathed.
