My fincan was in a field over winter & got hit in spring when farmer was disc-ing the field for planting. Amazingly I got it back with just 1 fin missing and a gouge on the tube.
Sunday was first flight since repairs were made so I took it easy. Just a 2-grain blue thunder. H-242-t.
Went 2497ft. Nice flight and short recovery walk. On smaller motors I put the tracker on the shock-cord in fincan. Extreme flights [it has flown to 12,000] I put it the the NC.
1 & 2 grain 38 motors are perfect for shakedown flights. Ya can see if all the gear performs as planned, and make adjustments if not. Then stick a big one in there and blow the cob-webs out.
I still cannot believe it got run over by the disc and survived with so little damage..

This rocket goes to every launch with me. Easy to prep & fly, great altitude on small motors.
