Thanks Bernard! I’ve used Safari and Duck-Duck-Go, but did not realize Firefox was available. I’ll give it a try.

UPDATE: All info I first found said that Firefox only works on 4th Generation and newer. I have an older Air2, but I went to App Store and found one that said “works on this iPad”. Success!

That tape that you found is a very good match. The "fluorescent orange" tape is what you want.

The piece of scrap is from an actual Optima kit. The roll on the right is what I found several years ago. It looks like a pretty good match.

Thanks! Just making sure. That Optima was no longer its original length to start with -- have had it may years with multiple paint schemes and mods.

Well, I misspelled the word. Should have been 'augered'. An auger is a tool with a helical bit for boring holes in wood. In rocketry means the rocket came straight in (no ejection or recovery deployment) and partially or completely buried itself, which describes exactly what happened to my Optima. :-(

Thanks. I have the decal scanned and print it out in vinyl using my wife's Silhouette printer/cutter. Also have a bunch of the orange metal-flake.
