Was it PVC or metallic hardware?

Remembering to arm the altimeter?  Priceless.

Forgetting to arm the altimeter happened to me too once.  Luckily, the
rocket flat spun back and just needed a reload - Greg was with me.  Hey!
Wait a minute...Bzzzzzzzzz

If everyone who plans to fly in the near future at Brothers could please
keep an eye out for this one.

Greg, I will pay for the BeeLine at the next OROC meeting. Thank you
again.

A flight report will follow. Below is a link to the ill fated last
flight for Sunday at the Desert Heat launch. It provides all of the
details of what happened.
