Another reclaimed bird from the Ebay lot. This one just needed a fin reattached and obviously a new shock cord. Flight went out over the infield and the old Estes shock cord snapped at ejection. The body flew backwards in a looping glide toward the infield while the nose cone and streamer fell straight down. The two parts almost hit each other at the 50' mark. No other damage despite a hard hit at shortstop.
