It's an on-board computer that speaks better English than I, I mean, me... it counts down, it sends telemetry, it speaks over the PA... it's awesome!
 

OMG. I met that guy. It was a s**** hot day in Lucerne and I was a ****** mile away retrieving my rocket and an Estes kit landed near me. I picked it up thinking I was doing some kid a favor and when I got close to the launch site Vern showed up, thanked me, but said he was trying to track some el cheapo tracking device. I apologized (but still, in my heart, I knew he was happy not having to walk 20 minutes out and back in 140F weather).

Wasn’t me. I have not been to Lucerne for several years.
