The Partizon Tomahawk flew again on Saturday. All went fine and it landed on the hard gravel parking lot and no fins popped off! Some of the kids went a bit crazy as it was coming down so we had to yell them off from any idea of trying to catch it. The last flight of the day was the Argent/Alpha and BANG! Another freaking E9 CATO - I got a real bad batch from Hobby Lobby. This time it was not good. Up went one booster nose cone and parachute followed by the wadding with a big bright orange ball of fire under it. On the bottom it blew the clip whip away and the central F-15 did not light. Going up on only two motors with 6 second delays I knew it was going to be bad, real bad. Lawn dart, then ejection into the green green grass of home. No fire. Good bye sweet Argent:sad:

It was still a good day because the North Korean Unha 3 from Aggressor Aerospace flew great on an E12 4. Fins on rockets are over rated, Time for an F24! Good thing I hacked more of the balsa nose cone and crammed in more nose weight. More power will rule!
Me so happy! Weez puts up new satellite so fearwess weeder can watch NBA finals in Pyongyang!
