New retro rocket flight and crash.

It flew well but the delay was too long and became a lawn dart. The transition shroud was the only thing damaged, it was repaired the next day and is ready to go again.

Almost like a real early '50s launch!😃

Launching rockets (or missiles in my case) is so easy a chimp could do it. Read a step, do a step, eat a banana.

Well, I took it out last evening and got three real good flights out of it, flies like a champ. Also took my Estes V-2, the one thats 2.6" dia. and burned up three C6 motors in it. That rocket is about 30 years old and responsible for making me a BAR.
