Flying Saturday at our club launch, and I sent my Centuri Groove Tube (built circa 1975) up for it's 60-ish flight. This time on a Quest A3-6 composite motor. We had a good wind, and a lot of rockets were weather-cocking. It got off the bad well, but almost immediately pitched hard into the wind. The delay was much too long, The rocket arched over and plunged towards the nearby hilltop.
Just before impact the delay finally fired, but the ejection came too late for the streamer to deploy. Thanks to our eagle-eyed club President, I managed to recover this treasured gem with minimal damage. But the nose cone had split into it's too parts. The base was still attached to the shock cord was still there, but the top half of the nose cone was gone.
Anyone know what the exact replacement is and where I might obtain one?
