Flight Log - 2015-08-15 - Ken E. Coyote's *Break-Apart* ACME Spitfire (Custom Mod)

Custom mod of ACME Spitfire for Break-away action.  Fun build!  Each section of the rocket "Breaks Apart" and is attached to a Kevlar line.  I've also made it so that the launch rod fits right through the middle of the rocket rather than outside launch lugs/standoffs.  

3/20/15 - Added Chenille Stem Wile E. Coyote as a finishing touch. Not bad for my first try at "pipe cleaner art" if I say so myself! :)

Good launch!  Went just where I predicted, had decent break-apart and came down with minimal damage (landed on short dry grass). WileE survives again! :)
