My leadoff flight from the Sunday WSR launch
Kinda says it all.
 Amazingly, I kept flying.

Ooh, that does look ominous....
Is the chute basically wrapped around the front or up the side of the rocket? Earl

It started skywriting as soon as it cleared the rod. It landed on the rocket totes next to the little Ford in the pic and barfed all over them. Not sure if it needed more nose weight or if the D12 was "gutless" as someone mentioned at the end of the "flight". No damage to anything or anyone.
