Big Berthas are a must! Easy to prep in that body tube, slow liftoffs, never gets too high, so it's pretty hard to lose one. I patterned most of my HPR activities to be Bertha-like.

I wanted to see all those Newton-seconds, and not just hear them! And I wanted to see deployment, and not have to walk miles for recovery. Granted, dual-deploy helped, but I was flying less and less each launch day, spending so much time prepping everything.

I finally decided to go back to just modrocs.
