I hadn’t planned on flying anything else, not after it was announced James’s Extremely Fat Boy 10x upscale was not going to be flying that day. (It was on display though.) So I figured I’d save my Fat Boy, Micro Fat Boy, and Flat Boy for whenever James’s rocket does fly — maybe the September launch. I did bring them along, though, and I had plenty of time after the R13 and there was a lull in the flying. So I stuck an E9-6 in the Fat Boy. Had another igniter failure but it went up on the second try — nice straight, high flight.
