Default Lost Mach Buster

Hello all,

I lost a small Rocket Vision Mach Buster rocket at Bong last month. I knew there was a good chance I'd loose it as I launched it on a CTI F250 hoping to hear the sonic boom :>

Anyway, it has a black nosecone and a red sustainer, with my phone number written on the side. Hopefully it also still has a CTI 24mm 3g case in it.

Here's a photo of the launch:

There is only one Mach Buster.

When a rocketeer loses it, Rocket Vision finds it, disassembles it, bags it and sells it to the next person.

Agree with stefanj; the easiest way to lose a casing is to put it in a Mach-Buster type or any sort of rocket way too small for the impulse level in an area smaller than the Bonneville Salt Flats.

I didn't think anyone still had a Mach Buster.
The whole concept behind that rocket was to encourage people to
put big motors in them so they'd sell more kits.
