I love PMCs. They give me a greater than 50% chance of seeing a POWR-PRANG.
The luck of the Unicorn Folk must ride with me, then (the comment directly below *this* https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18588029/ portrait a friend of mine did for/of me mentions an interesting happening), because I've never had a PMC crash. (I made one out of a 1/72 scale Saab Viggen, and a scale-like one using the Apollo CM from a Revell 1/96 scale Saturn V.) Also:

Although they weren't/aren't "officially" PMCs, the all-plastic Estes Firing Line RTF--and Cox RTF--model rockets always flew true for me, even though--like most PMC models--they were/are rather heavy for their size. I even had a ^very^ short (just ~8' peak altitude), but safe and complete (it looked like the "typical flight profile" drawing--but 'flown to scale'--that is included in model rocket catalogs), flight from a Cox Honest John, when I accidentally loaded it with a 1/2A6-2 motor, instead of an A8-3.
