Today we at Team Evil Fish decided to use the birthday gift that my sister bought for the younger member's 11th birthday, after reading the sign at the local park requiring the use of such only by permit went to the local high school where at 15 feet from second base made that ground zero..

the Estes model rocket was loaded with the medium strength engine and while talking with the JACK A LOPE via cellular communication launched TEF-1 a nice launch went about 200 feet into the air and was recovered in a few minutes... after reloading same engine type made a second launch followed pretty much the same trajectory but was going to much towards the houses. so for the third launch I installed the BIG engine rated to 600 feet turned the launching pad towards more of the field away from the houses and the younger member counted from 10 and well we had 2 successful rocket launches and 1 very cool missile it seems that at the base of the launching pad a thumb screw came loose and the thrust from the rocket pressure against the blast deflector caused the guide rod to move from 90 to about 45 as it left and again towards the houses..... I lost sight of it but Alex ran as fast as he could to get an idea of where it would land....

we packed up and much like finding a cache made our way to where we thought it landed... knocked on a house we thought it might have been in but after the owner allowed us to look spotted on his back neighbors roof so again drove around looking for the correct house, after getting the strangest look from the owner while stating our problem, he took his ladder and went to his back yard upon his return TEF-1 was in good shape..
