My Sprint POWR-PRANGED on it's second flight in ~1986 due to an offset thrust D11-9.
Incidentally, every time I flew a Cherokee-D or Skybolt on a D12-5 or D11-9 I got them back. Every launch on a D12-7 I lost them. 6 Cherokee-D's and 2 Skybolts.
Actually got a Cherokee-D back from an old E-kaboom15-8 flight but replaced the idiotic 18" chute with a streamer.

Thanks for the info!
It would look like Carl's instructions were inaccurate when it comes to the PNC-55AC then.
You wouldn't happen to have the instructions or any photos of it laying about would you?

Launching is Optional... Landing? That Depends on Trees.
