I purchased my Estes Prowler^TM on Tuesday, November 10, 1998 and completed its construction on Friday, November 27, 1998. I launched the Prowler^TM twice on Saturday, November 28 using Estes C5-3 engines. The rocket achieved excellent height, deployed its parachute, and returned slowly toward earth. The recovery was interrupted by a small tree during the first flight. The rocket was recovered from the tree. In an effort to avoid the short trees on the southern end of the field, I adjusted the launch pad slightly toward the north. During recovery of the second flight, the rocket drifted too far north and got stuck in a 50-60 foot pine tree. On December 5, the rocket was no longer in the tree or on the ground surrounding the tree. If you find this rocket, please let me know by sending mail to forrest@greenbackacres.com.
