Finally got t' fly this on a D motor. Wobbled a lot on t' way up but nice and high compared t' t' 18mm flights. Spool again went into its end for end spin and drifted back close t' t' LCO table and was caught by a club member who accidentally squashed t' center tube because it was still hot. Ahoy! Will need t' make a new tube as t' prism wrap was melted as well.
Footnote: This flight was with t' double CD's on each end but due t' bein' caught was unable t' find out if they would hold up better than t' single version. Aye aye! After gettin' home I dropped it on t' floor and broke t' double disk on one end so had t' completely rebuild. Ahoy! Thinkin' about addin' a parachute t' reduce disk breakage as I'm crackin' or breakin' one on every flight.
