2014-02-08Metalizer Flight Decent launch, but delay too long. Landed hard on ice, but no damage. Didn't realize this motor was not recommended with this rocket. - A8-3 [More]
Doo Dad Flight Great flight as usual. - B6-4 [More]

Deuce's Wild Flight First flight for this rocket, and my first cluster ever. Perfect ignition, beautiful straight flight, recovered close to pad. - B6-4 x 2 [More]
