Sweet! Nice build of a classic.

I always wondered why they have a picture of Sagittarius on the Andromeda. Kind of mixing metaphors, or mythology a little. Might have made more sense for Pegasus, maybe.

I think it's that the zodiac symbol for Sagittarius is a stylized arrow, which one might argue the Andromeda resembles...

Did it crash? Hopefully not!

Did it crash? Hopefully not!

No, it landed quite safely... the parachute/shock cord started to get caught up in the fins, thus the inverted comment but they cleared and the chute opened up, it landed about 25 feet from the launch pad. My phone camera skills are non-existent...

Glad it landed safely!
