We went to our local park this evening for a launch. Everything went well, with my Deuce getting a successful first flight, and a Nerf rocket, 4" in diameter on an E9, using bounce recovery, performing OK also. After a dozen or so flights, I decided to fly the Crayon on my new 29/40-120 case and an AT G64W-4. At lift off it cocked a little strangely and flew with the breeze, instead of against it as I had directed. Deployment was right after apogee, but it drifted into the woods and resides about 35-40' off the ground in a hundred year old oak. I was sick to my stomach. Anyone have any ideas?
Everyone enjoyed the Applewhite saucers. The 9" and an AT 24mm E are a fantastic combo, with lots of flash and noise. An E9-P is great also. I had two Copperheads fail out of five attempts, which is a first for me.
Except losing a $50.00 AT casing and the scratch built Crayon, everything went well.
