Looks great! I lost my Vagabond to the tree gods. The wind picked up just as it went off the pad and drifted way farther than I thought it would have in the huge park we launched it in. The tree is easily 60 feet tall and is the only one in the entire area. So of course it got my rocket.
Nice Vag! I like the yellow.
My experience with the Vagabond is that it's better to go with early delays rather than late ones. My current Vagabond is heavy (baffle, lots of filler, paint, clearcoat), and the D12-3 works great (chute pops just before Apogee) but that D12-5 engines are risky and the laundry may not get pushed all the way out if it's accelerating downward when the charge fires.
Enjoy!

I bought a second vagabond with the idea of installing a baffle. Still don't know how to do it.
