This was t' best flight o' this rocket so far. Avast! t' I245G really sent it off t' pad fast. Ya scallywag! T' long coast was really cool and seemed t' go on forever. a guy in t' club told me that with a rocket that is short and stuby that you need t' get t' speed up smartly or it will veer off. Arrr! I think this was t' main reason I be havin' so many problems it veerin' off. Next I'm goin' t' get those rod tubes off and put on some rail guides. Begad! T' rods seem t' whip when t' rockets come off. I think I will have much more control with a rail and a cleaner launch. Ya scallywag! So use motor that will be quick off t' rail and use rails guides when you can.
