Flight 9 would be an Estes Micron, a mini engine bird that I picked up via eBay several years ago. It has patina, which makes it one of my eBay favorites, and it has the advantage of being mini engine powered, but light enough to still attain decent heights. This one would be on a 1/2A3-4T, which I expected would keep it well within the yard. I figured right. The flight topped out around the 250-300' level and recovered near the infield in short right center. The streamer never gave a hint of streaming, but the grass cushioned the landing.
