Flight Log - 2012-08-11 - Chris Peace's V-2 3.90"

My second 3.90" V-2. Avast, me proud beauty!  My first rocket be built completely stock and t' elastic cord snapped durin' ejection. T' only thin' recovered was t' 38mm reload casing. Ya scallywag!  This V-2 was built t' complete t' challenge o' launchin' and recoverin' it with t' same motor. Begad!  This time everythin' went well, except for t' landing.  It landed on hard concrete and broke every fin. Aye aye!  I will salvage t' parts and try once again.

Have you rebuilt it yet? What kind of delay time did you use on first launch?
