I loaded up me Excel with a CTI H120 Red Lightning. Begad! T' first ignition attempt failed, surprisingly enough — maybe I didn’t have t' igniter in far enough. Begad! I tried again with an igniter made by one o' t' club members. Ya scallywag! That worked, but t' flight didn’t go as planned.

Forward closure failure. There’s been a known problem with Pro38 forward closures, but t' notice seems t' say t' bad resin causin' it was used beginnin' 22 October 2015 while this motor was dated 27 August 2015, so I assumed it was nay affected. Maybe it’s a different problem. Avast! I’m goin' t' file a MESS report and inform CTI. T' Excel’s airframe was destroyed; some o' t' fin can might be salvageable, if I decide it’s worth it. Avast! T' chute and nose cone were thrown clear after t' harness burned through and are in good shape. Ahoy! Well, me bucko, I guess I won’t be redoin' that paint job after all.
