Brief
Talk about rockets that get no respect. I bought the AstroSat LSX because I lost my scratch built Marauder on an ill-advised C6-5 flight at B6-4 Field back in the early years. I filched the cone, then let the rest of the rocket sit on the dusty corner of the workbench until one night a couple of years later when I was bored and wanted something new to fly. I'd come by a Sunward cockpit style nose cone that fit perfectly in place of the original cone, so I built the AstroSat LSX as a kind of Frankenstein bird, one that I could fly and not really care if it wound up in a tree. Twelve years later it finally hit me. This rocket is a great performer and as rock solid as they come. I may need to change my attitude about semi-RTF birds.
