I didn't like the preprinted body tube so I covered it with paper and painted it black. Standard kit otherwise.

I went back and prepped the Condor again. I’d done my three contest flights and DQ’d on all three, but there was still NARTREK to try for. A8-3 again. This time separation was good, and someone spotted the booster and got it for me while I went after the glider — which had headed more or less straight for Turner Road. It landed almost in front of a couple people who’d been out that way looking for another rocket, so I got it back with no problem. Time was 44.55 seconds, well above the 30 needed for NARTREK and a decent contest showing if it’d been permitted as a contest flight. Finally! The gliders were not a total loss for me today.
