You empowered your 1340 to E flights with the application of the EnerJet decal on the airframe. It looks ready to scream just sitting on the pad. I have lost a few on larger motors but really anything flying with the EnerJet badge of honor on the airframe is always a feel good flight to me!

Good job and nice finish on your builds.

Yes, it was a great day. And to be honest, I started walking toward the 1340 when it was still well up in the air specifically because I've had experience with that kind of situation in the past. I had one land in the dog park at VOA. When I went to look for it I found it in a trash can with the scooped poop. Of course, no one would own up to the act. All I've ever had from the soccer folks is dirty looks, but I know they have a built in attitude about their right to any open space. I wanted to get there and get the rocket out of the way as soon as possible, both to lessen the chance of damage to the rocket, and to keep the possibility of a confrontation to a minimum.
