Flight Log - 2011-08-20 - Dale Marshall's The Sword
This is a beautiful rocket. Lots of good parts but my only problem with it is the engine mount - it's a little flimsy and is starting to unravel. Will have to tape it up before launching again.

It features a short aluminum tube to protect a kevlar string shock cord, that parallels the engine motor mount. This may strengthen the card stock centering rings that are glued in place with epoxy, as recommended in the directions. Also, a second body tube coupler is included to re-enforce the top lip of the body tube and prevent zippers. A good kit!
