I purchased this in about 2011 to use as a launch vehicle for a video payload section I built.  It worked great for this purpose.

It's last flight (as of now) found the nose cone separating from the body due to a shock cord attachment failure.  The body was recovered with minimal damage, but the nose cone and chute were lost to a rocket eating tree after drifting a considerable distance.  Fortunately the video camera section was not being used that launch.

It's on my repair list once I get around to ordering a new nose cone.
