Puff the Dragon
With a conscious effort to ignore everything written by Dr. Gregorek, I built a rocket that should not have flown. But if push with enough thrust, anything will launch.
Recovery is another subject.

It may not have recovered perfectly, but it looked good on the way up!
"Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains" would have been proud!

Well, next month I will bring a scratch-build that currently swing-tests as flying backwards, but I'm hoping to rectify that before the June Launch. Even if it's still swing testing as backwards, I may try to fly it regardless, with very much a heads-up warning. But I think I've got a fix for the problem, but it's going to induce a lot of drag. And I mean, a lot of drag. But we'll see.
BTW: The rocket is rectangular, like an upscale of a Newway model. Made from a priority-mail box.
