Any secrets on how to prevent the booster fins from separating on landing from the tube on the root edge? I have tried a bigger chute, launched only on a C6-3, landing on a wet grass field and still the fin separated.

Jim's suggestion makes sence

I have actually been experimenting with tethering the kevlar shock line outside the body tube to the bottom of the rocket (near the motor tube) so that the model comes down tail end up... Hope to have that flying at NARAM this weekend and I will report with a follow up.

As always Great photos Fred!
One of the best parts of TRF is your flight pics... really nice stuff this time also.

Hi John,
Sorry about not replying sooner. Lost track of this thread. I thank you for your kind words. I am sure you have noticed that the quailty of photography on TRF is going up as a whole. I enjoy your pictures as well.

Did this fly or was the test doomed between the windy days and your little run-in with pneumonia?

I'm feeling better every day, but still have to take it easy. I notice that the heat really drains me since i got sick. I have to just shut down a few minutes several times a day. Having it in the mid-high 90's doesn't help, that's for sure... LOL
