After looking at all these pictures and videos it's going to kill me when I do have my first one.
One of the 4H kids this summer. He took it in stride, shortened her up and kept flying.
My Big Daddy lawn darted harmlessly in February. Now before you start dissing the BD and it’s tendency to land nose first, let me point out that the motor was at fault this time, not the nose cone. It was the first flight of the day, I sent it on a D12-3, and the ejection charge utterly fizzled; barely put a pinhole in the side of the clay cap. So it flew up beautifully, tipped over, and flew straight back down. Happily the ground was very soft from months of rain and no significant damage was done.

Well, believe it or not I've only had ONE pranger in 52 years! It was back in the early 70's, a Centuri Starfire, went up straight and came down the same way.Did no damage whatsoever.That rocket went on for years after that.After looking at all these pictures and videos it's going to kill me when I do have my first one.
Those kids will remember and laugh about that well into adulthood. Small price for good memories.
