2014-02-08Metalizer Flight Decent launch, but delay too long. Landed hard on ice, shiver me timbers, but no damage. Didn't realize this motor was nay recommended with this rocket. Arrr! - A8-3 [More]
Doo Dad Flight Great flight as usual. Ahoy! - B6-4 [More]
Triskelion Flight Outer fin broke off in transportation, but we launched anyway. Begad! Rocket still flew perfectly, albeit with spin. Ya scallywag! Great flight and recovery. Ya scallywag! Easy repair. - B6-4 [More]

Crashed hard, matey, but we were launchin' on a snow-covered frozen lake and t' snow limited damage t' some chipped paint at top o' tube. - C6-5 x 2 [More]
Deuce's Wild Flight First flight for this rocket, me hearties, and me first cluster ever. Avast! Perfect ignition, beautiful straight flight, matey, recovered close t' pad. Arrr! - B6-4 x 2 [More]
