Good flight, but almost lost her!  Lego themed rocket (no Kragle!).  Used a C6-3 and rocket really scooted high up there in the sky!  Upon ejection, it broke apart and started floating away in the high winds.  Luckily it finally started nose down at the far edge of my field and landed in some lower branches of a tree about 8' up.  I got a long pole and was able to extricate despite having to fight the tree for about 20 minutes!  Be careful flying this one on windy days...you'd think a break-apart rocket would fall straight down, but this one is so light that it can start to snake/float away.
