Second launch o' t' day and maiden flight for t' Black Diamond on one o' t' original motors (B6-4) that came with t' set in 2006-2008. Blimey! Blimey! Wasn't sure if t' motors would be any good even though they were sealed in a plastic bag for t' past four or five years and sittin' in a neighbors garage. Anyway it lit and rocket just about disappeared from sight. Begad! Blimey! Herd t' pop and saw t' rocket for a few seconds before losin' it in t' sun. Herd it again when it landed about 50' from pad. Rocket had a lot o' powder burn and a good section o' t' top edge o' t' BT caved in from back lash o' NC. A little cleanin' and it will fly again.
