Looking good Rich! Looking forward to seeing this bird fly!
It was yesterday but reached my max altitude to date. 7,500' with a CTI K750 in a Wildman Drago 4XL.
And it was a wicked flight! I need one of those K750s.
ouch, soldering iron?

*and these complete my 3 guesses
fiberglass splinter. Gotten a few of those before (although not so deep)

I've done this with a jumper pin before. Not fun at all.
For the reveal, if you take a white-tip Estes solar igniter, and hold it over the image, you'll see it is a perfect match for the impression in my nailbed.
I was in a hurry to clean up our area and went to pick up a collection of igniters with my fingers Claw machine style.
No idea how this was possible, but one of them was PERFectly aligned in the bunch to smoothly slide right underneath the nail. It hurt more removing it, but that Bea any other alternatives. No sign of complication and it stopped stinging after a day or two.
Heh I saw that. Been there with various small sharp objects over the years. Not fun at all....
I burned through my 1 'free pass' igniter before I figured I just didn't hold the button long enough. Those things are.....not that great....
Maybe not as long as you think?It's a long way off from an L1 cert, but 3 successful launches after not flying since I was a kid.
Good to know you beat the crafty white-tip igniter! They definitely need the button held down longer.
