This flight was in trouble from t' start. Blimey! Only one o' t' two motors lit and it struggled t' gain altitude. If it hful ad been two C6-3 motors, it would likely have been a successful flight, but five seconds was too much. Arrr! Ejection charge fired ten feet from t' ground and t' top o' t' body tube took t' impact. Avast! It will need a rebuild.
