the ARV condor is a great rocket, 'specially for getting started in 'glide' recovery. i have one, and the first time around i painted it like it was on the box and its first flight was on an A8... i had been worying about having three parts to keep my eyes on, but the two gliders landed not 12inches apart from eachother

i have flowin it a few times since, one of them when it was raining a bit (on and off) and the gliders got so wet from landing in the wet grass that the decals all came off and the paint was rather *ruined*. now they have been repainted. the first flight after their fresh paint didn't go so hot, one of the launch lugs snagged a bit (i think) and it took off on quite an angle. still recovered fine tho!
heres a pic of that launch. i got some realy neat sparks, i guess b/c it was slow getting off but i'm not sure.
well, i have stuff to do. talk to ya all later!
