Definately lost. The last one was my Groove Tube with an altimeter and 54/1706 case At least with a lawn dart you can usually recover *something*.
I really hate it when they burn up on reentry.

A lawndart makes me feel the worst. I can accept losing rockets any other way, but a lawndart causes me concern for the safety of people at the launch.

What makes me feel bad is going out to fly, and EVERYTHING I put up goes up fine(the easy part) and on landing breaks a fin off. I do everything I can do to prevent it, fillets and stuff,(TTW) takes a bad bounce and breaks a fin.
AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!
Have you tried a bigger chute?
'Sod' is a bad word in England, sometimes used in this context.
Would it be in poor taste to ask what the connotations are?
I've got a PML Explorer along with a 29/240 casing buried somewhere. Came in ballistic from 2,500+ into weeds
There wasn't much chance of you finding that one, Donald. I don't anyone had perfect bead on where it impacted. And with those weeds, it was going to be nearly impossible especially since there might not be any part of the rocket actually sticking above the ground. You would've had mow that entire field to have a fighting chance to find it.
However, I felt terrible when you lost your first Thor. I was so-hoping you would find it.
