This was a trial run for a make and take we are doing the following week with this kit. Unfortunately, I forgot to glue on the launch lug. I taped on a bit of the brown tube Aerotech uses for their ignitors. It wasn't the right diameter. I should have used the 3/16' rod. Lug twisted at launch, sending the rocket into a near horizontal path. Not much of a test flight but chute did come out before contact with the ground.
