Took a while t' get going, probably due t' t' batteries in t' launcher. Ahoy!  Left t' pad with authority, shiver me timbers, and both pieces recovered within 100 feet o' each other.  Engine section was hot t' t' touch, so much so that it melted t' glue fillets and t' engine was stuck. Avast!  I let it cool down and t' motor slid right out and t' glue hardened again.  Somethin' t' watch in t' future.
