Hi Thomas,
We also had a rocket engine malfunction once. The rocket was a two part
rocket. One part was just to hold the engine and tumble back to the ground.
The second part was a glider airplane. It was pretty cool to watch the glider
gracefully glide in a circular manner back to the ground. So with the D engine
the second boost would separate the two parts of the rocket. But one time the
rocket did not ascend correctly and instead curved over and headed for the
ground. And like your's the booster just drove the rocket straight into the
ground. And I do mean into the ground.
Speaking of into the ground, my Dad had a beautiful scale World War 2 trainer
plane with about a three and a half foot wing span. He was thinking that the
batteries were getting low in the remote, but we talked him into taking it up
once more. Yep the battery died and he lost control of it. It dove into the
ground. We had to dig it out of the ground to recover the engine etc. Another
time he had this Navion plane with a six foot wing span. He accidently flew it
out of range and it just took off. We drove down the road trying to catch up
to it, but never did. Years later a lady called him and said that she had been
doing dishes and looked out the window and thought that a real airplane was
coming right at her house. The plane just landed nicely in her yard.
BFN
Jim
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
