Ahhhhh Apologies to both then!

I should explain over here in the UK at the time you could be these
tiny rockets in packs of 5? 8? My memory is dim ;-) The body was about
3-4 inches long.

I lived in a quite rural area so we found an old shed with a corrugated
tin roof - the corrugations served as a handy launch pad as well.

I think I can count on the fingers of one hand the time the glider made
it intact to the end of the roof. Still, science should be fun,
failures and all ;-)
