Following on the heels of Carl's Aphelion came the James Gartrell Estes Spitfire SSI.  James was kind of a night owl and he and I occasionally traded PMs deep into the night.  He passed away a couple of years back after a battle with lung cancer.  His flying circus went up on Ebay and I tried several times to win a rocket or two with no luck.  Finally picked this one up last year.  I think he'd be pleased to know someone is keeping his legacy alive in some way.  Fair winds, James.  As for the flight, the A8-3 got it going, but it wiggled its butt the whole way up.  Long drift on the stock chute, but no damage after I lengthened the shock cord.
