BT-70/BT-60 upscale of the FSI Nova.

Rocket Name: Fishhead Rocketry - Nova SS
Kit Name: Scratch - Nova SS {Scratch}
Flyer's Name: Bill Eichelberger
Motors: E9-4
Launch Site: TORC Field, South Charleston, Ohio

Flew it naked, which is a mistake in a cornfield. Impressive off the pad, but the E9-4 turned out to be more like an E9-1 and the rocket did a Vaudeville Hook routine.  Recovered nicely on a reefed chute and I found two rockets while looking for it, one of them the Viking 2 that I thought lost after the opening flight of the day.
