Good Fight, strong launch off rod with around 600 ft, didn't use alt.

After getting it home, I found that it cracked one of the fillets at one of the fins on landing. Didn't break the fin and nothing is loose, so I'm not sure why it cracked the fillet. Club member said I shouldn't use the plastic ring on the nosecone and do something more secure, theyr'e afraid the ring would break after a couple of flights.

Also I didn't care for all the taping on the adapter and engine, so I added a screw on aeropack engine mount and adaptor. Much cleaner and will be easier to load engines.
