Hey, did I see you fly that at LDRS? Didnt it shred? Then I saw you walking by with the same rocket... Repaired.... Howdga do it!?

Did you get L1 eventually?

Thanks for asking. I got the CERT flight out of the way early. It was successful on an H97J.

The shred you saw was on a H210R - a big difference!! Amazingly, enough of the fins was left on that it stayed stable. Someone found it and brought it back to the RSO's table. It was in perfect condition except for the two broken fins. I found the two broken parts and reattached them with superglue. It flew later on a F21.

Given its weakened state, I don't think it would fly again on an H. I'm considering whether to 'glass it or just build a new fin can with 1/4" ply.

I can't believe I'm responding to area 51 posts. I MUST have too much time.

I flew HeartRoc early Thursday and early and very late Friday. My other rocket was the Pink Polka Roc which is kinda hard to miss. Tall and skinny and pink with black dots.

Hm... No luck on the first flight... It must have flown while I was recovering my Fire in the hole, a mile away....

Lets see about the second flight.... Late Friday.... Well, theres one of your rocket on the pad... Blue 7 left bank... But... The next pic is of a big line of thin smoke coming off of Blue 7...

Heres the pic of the rocket on the pad, at least....
