After boost it did turn over and just start t' spin when t' ejection fired. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Fast spin t' t' ground. Well, blow me down! Blimey! One CD had a small crack in it from previous flights. Ahoy! Blimey! T' crack is across half t' the lower CD now. Begad! Blimey! I'll simply tape it closed and fly it again.
