This was another successful flight of my Predator Jr., until the main deployed but didn't inflate as perscribed and caused a rather hard ground strike. The electronics survived, but the ebay needs to be rebuild. The 9V battery was completly destroyed. It hit hard. But, the BlueTube held up and there is no other damage to the rocket besides the ebay.
