T' Aerotech H123 really sends it off t' pad. Arched over really bad again, I think havin' t' rod guide above t' boatail don't let it come off t' rod straight. If I had it t' do over, I would do 1010 rail guides. I think that would fix this. Still highest flight so far, good engine for t' rocket.

landed in t' neigbor's field t' t' north. Arrr! Got t' meet t' neighbors t' retreve it. Ended up with a small cow patty in it From bein' drug by t' chute.

After lookin' at all t' data on t' H123, I don't think that it reached t' altitude t' altimeter said it did. Aye aye! Blimey! It should have ended up around 1100' and thinkin' back it really didn't look any higher than that.
