This long tube fin be originally named "Chornaiya" meanin' black in Russian. T' 4 flat fins comin' out o' t' main tube fin as triangles made it look very prickly or sharp. Therefore we nicknamed it SPIKE too.

Nice launch. T' motor mount stayed in t' bottom end instead o' poppin' out (like last launch). Well, blow me down! We can finally see t' beautiful red and gold chute. It be a nice walk up t' it after a 44.2 second duration. No damage. It would like t' get it goin' on a F motor.
