First mid-power flight for me. Used Estes E16-6 motor for first flight t' test fins, shiver me timbers, stability, and other aerodynamics on t' build. Ya scallywag! Worked flawlessly! Had an onboard RunCam 2 1080p camera taped with maskin' tape t' t' upper portion o' t' body tube. Flight was short. We all thought t' chute wasn't goin' t' deploy as it nose-dove, shiver me timbers, but chute deployed flawlessly on t' way down and rocket landed safely. Well, blow me down! Many cheers from t' club members! This t' only time I be able t' fly this rocket as rain and thunderstorms came in. There be a great risk o' lightnin' strike as everyone's hair was stickin' up from charges buildin' up from ground t' cloud!
