It looks like this flight was on the 1/2A motor since I don't remember the model coming down when I use an A10 motor. This kit will also include a l built up item that slides over the launch rod and supports the Igniter wires so after take off the igniter clips don't grab onto the stab. This of course is always a bad thing. I'm sure someone at the field had to have taken a photo of this part as well. Hopefully they will post an image of this so you can see what I am talking about.

Now that thar's funny and I don't care who you are !


MIL's computer is about a ten year old Gateway with local phone company "high speed over landline". Now I have that at home, but mine is FAST (well, fast enough-- I'm sure SOME of yall have faster internet and would laugh at mine) but this setup here (not sure if its the computer or the ISP) has several speeds and they come and go with no particular regularity, rhyme, or reason:

1) about like home
2) slow
3) slower
4) PITIFUL, and
5) I can't believe it's not AMISH...

LOL

Course it's ok for the Amish to have internet-- so long as you take your laptop down to the corner phone booth to access it... LOL

Later! OL JR

That said, the delay seems a bit long. It needs a B4-2 or B6-2. Or a longer pop pod . . .

Piston launch the A3 and 1/2A3!
