Now for the acid test, Jay...

Give us some flight shots and a report on how close RS came to predicting the flight profile.

Looks good!

P.S. The phrase "Gone with the Wind" *doesn't* have a very positive connotation for model rocketry, does it?

(gnawing on fingernails) Yeah, I'll have to do that. I think I'll use a 10" nylon chute for the first few flights. RS says it weighs 0.8 oz. I'll have to find a scale and see how much the paint and glue contribute to the overall weight.

The orange/gray combo looks great, I wouldn't change a thing. Ok, maybe I could do without that picture of your arm

And then to follow up on and memorialize your flights, a review on EMRR would be just wonderful.

The flash makes the gray appear lighter than it actually is.

BTW, Thanks for producing Jay's cone, and for adding those 853's earlier. I've got several plans calling for that one, now, and I'm putting together an order for a few.
