Flight Log - 2014-03-09 - Ken E. Coyote's Odd'l Break Away

Rocket seemed a bit "wobbly" on t' launch pad; however flight be straight up and rocket "break away" was good.  Came down about 15' from launch pad and it was actually a bit faster comin' down than I expected and just missed catchin' it (hit me on t' back...I was on ice). Begad!  Minor scuffs:  Rocket had a balsa nose cone dent from hittin' t' fin, me hearties, one fin had a small dent, multiple tubes had some paint chip (maybe should try lexan paint if I do this again) and one connector came unglued. Well, blow me down!  Crowd loved it though.
