Tangent #2, a second Ebay kit to replace the one I roofed in 2013. Probably a quick build so I can make it the first kit launched from my vintage Holverson Slider, Jr. pad. Interesting to note: Retail Price: $9.95, Our Price: $9.45, Sale Price: $7.96.

Windcocked out toward US 27, then caught the breeze and recovered at the warning track in left center. Parachute was mostly spillhole and took a while to inflate, but worked perfectly. As planned, this was the first rocket to launch from my vintage Holverson Slider, Jr. launch pad. Doug would be proud.
