    When that thing was about to go, I gave it a 50/50 chance of those gingerbread fins snapping off. Recovering it pretty much intact, and having somebody find it and bring it to registration was even more amazing.

    Did you ever end up taking a bite of it?

    Yo mike,
    I spent (literally) 2 hours wandering the desert looking for this rocket, and on the other side of the freeway It had a loaner motor casing, so I HAD to find it. I was bummed when I got back and the flight desk said no one turned it in. Then Jared told me someone turned it in at the registration desk. Thanks dude!!!! I was real glad to get it back. I want you to know I looked everywhere for your black and gold rocket, and I mean EVERYWHERE!!!! Did you find it? Let me know.

I'll mount the kevlar cord inside the shoulder by gluing it between the shoulder and a coupler. I'll do the same to mount the shock cord to the airframe.

    My rockets usually fly naked. If they survive, they earn their paint.

    Come fly with ROSCO or ICBM in Orangeburg SC => http://rocketrysouthcarolina.com

    Forget the Bisquick, mold the whole thing in one piece out of melted lollipops. (Just a random question; if you steal a lollipop from the jar at the bank, does that count as bank robbery? )

    Jeffgeraci, I am officially impressed. Of course if I had been there, I would have been hiding under my tent when the LCO hit the button...
