Silver Lining
Yeah, it sucks to crash a rocket. On the other hand, it gives me an excuse to build another.

You may be able to re-use a fin--or is that considered Bad Luck amongst the rocketeers?

I salvage pieces all the time, but this time the only reusable bits are the eyebolts, quicklinks, tubular nylon harness and parachute. The rest is toast.

Nylon? You don't need no steenking nylon when you can use Tubular Kevlar! Whatcha got in the inventory? I've got plenty of parts sitting around that'll never get used. I could send them to you along with a new product I want you to beta-test: the Waterproof MicroBeacon! (chortle)

Well Doug, based on this morning's great news, I just happen to have the parts all ready to go for a 4" diameter Yellow Jacket upscale that'll be perfect for Level 2 on a SkyRipper J. 
BTW, it's getting dim, but as of this morning the beacon was still flashing.

Most excellent. If the SkyRippers don't have Tripoli cert by the time you're ready, I'll gladly lend you a ProPoly J160. We've flown that motor a lot, as well as the shorter I140 version, and it always satisfies. Are you building with a 54mm motor mount? I recommend it; it lets you use a vented adapter for 36mm motors.
