GRiT Plane and GRiT 'vette both successfull

Ok, well yesterday me, Nick, and Amy set off the plane and 'vette. Both went extremely well. The plane actually took off, flew through the trees, fired the 4 bottle rockets, and circled around and landed right where it took off from. Beat that shit! The video however did not turn out as well as planned, it was nearly impossible to follow the plane through the trees. But you can hear everything go off. haha.
The 'vette shot down the road like a rocket, staying almost completely straight. At the end of its run it went kind of wobbly. Then the ejection charge blasted the 2 m-80's that were in the seats, thus blowing off the bottom of the 'vette.
The plane is ready to be fixed up and flown again. Me and Nick are currently thinking of new ways to mount the engines on it to get a better flight path. The 'vette however is pretty trashed, considering we broke the wheel off before even setting it off the first time, its in no shape to be refitted.
Look for video of all this action soon!No replies.
