OIC, yeah, you're probably right. I didn't think of it being a solid object at first.

Actually, Preston asked me to take the photo. His sense of humor remained intact in spite of the carnage.

And, he vows to rebuild the rocket. I recommended using epoxy - lots of epoxy. :-)

I was standing next to Preston yesterday when the Snooper went down.
With a smile on his face he said something like: "Oh well, I can rebuild it!"

He keeps his cool and builds to fly another day!
I've seen and heard people go ballistic after a bad flight, - not Preston.

P.S. - You got a problem with an old bald guy? I too resemble that remark!

Same here! But I'm not bald. I'm follically(?) challenged.

Here are a few more pictures. I will rebuild starting this week. Really not that bad once you look at everything. A few Couplers and some tubing we will be in business.
