This would be the last flight of the mighty Metalizer for the day.  Conditions were dreary at best.  Light drizzle, but very little wind.  Decided to fly it again despite the rain, and bet that the shiny metallic finish would weatherproof it to some extent.  The C motor put it pretty high in the air, and I was worried that it would end it's natural rocket life on the roof of Gloversville High, but the Metalizer could do no wrong!!  Once again, the Metalizer landed about 100 feet away - well within scampering distance of the the D-Man (who I knew would brag about this to his friends in kindergarten a few days hence).
