Good Fight, strong launch off rod with around 600 ft, didn't use alt.

After gettin' it home, I found that it cracked one o' t' fillets at one o' t' fins on landing. Didn't break t' fin and nothin' is loose, so I'm nay sure why it cracked t' fillet. Arrr! Club member said I shouldn't use t' plastic rin' on t' nosecone and do somethin' more secure, theyr'e afraid t' rin' would break after a couple o' flights.

Also I didn't care for all t' tapin' on t' adapter and engine, so I added a screw on aeropack engine mount and adaptor. Much cleaner and will be easier t' load engines.
