Newway 4 Square

Flight

Flight was great on the way up but nosecone was stuck, resulting in a lawn dart. The Newway rockets are such tanks, that the only damage was the motor mount coming lose and sliding up into the body tube. A little sanding and gluing will fix it for return to service. - B6-4 - AMA Muncie, Indiana [More]
