earlier when it all went wrong

Currently...after repairs and modifications

I have to say that car held up pretty damn great for all the hell you put it through!

Not to spoil the fun of flight, but maybe a front spoiler for some downforce up there.

...or maybe some side and top fins added to the midsection for more regular trajectory once airborne

That was a test run today with a 19lb engine, making sure it drove OK after it fell from the sky last run on the 44lb'er...unfortunately ride height was too low in the front and chassis caught the asphalt...no real damage...I have put on stiffer front springs and taller tires and am going for another attempt with 44lb engine either this evening or tommorrow morning..there's been a 15mph cross wind all day. That's why it veered in above video to the left

This was the successful run mentioned above.

Sounds like a gun going off...

...followed by the unmistakable sound of lexan on blacktop

Looked straight as an arrow though!
