I do not think your morons, however I would strongly suggest that you start
using wire guides from now on. Make a spool and capstan assembley with good
quality multi-strand cable. Parts may still fly off but will help keep the
majority of the parts in the Track area and not at the Camera Person, observers
etc.

I hope you will continue your line of research and get Eye protection and First
Aid kits too. IAFAGUSLAE!!!

This post concerns those people who've seen our rocket cars/plane(s).
