Big Bird Homecoming

Big Bird came home, thanks to a friend. This is the first time I've actually gotten a lost rocket returned, whether I put a sticker on it, write my number in Sharpie on it or what.

The nose cone, which is the most likely part to be reusable, did not come with, nor did the parachute. What came home has spent too much time in the rain to be something that could fly again. I went to pull the motor out and the whole motor mount came, centering rings & all.



Still, good to have Big Bird back. Need to build a replacement to go with the perfectly good booster I have for him.
