My Level 1, Loc 5.5" V-2 for reasons unknown the motor eject failed, came in ballistic close to the late Tommy Higgs while he was cooking hamburgers. It whistled like a real missile as I was screaming "heads up". I never flew a Level 1 or higher again without an altimeter or chute release. Every so often I would talk to Tommy, mention this and we would have a few chuckles over it and other lawn darts.
