Good, ya bilge rat, straight boost. Begad! Durin' t' coast phase, you could see t' rocket spinnin' from t' angled fins.  At recovery, only t' nose cone blew. Well, blow me down! t' parachute stayed in t' narrow square midsection. A fin was broken off on landin' - easily repairable. Avast! After pullin' t' engine, shiver me timbers, it looked like most o' t' ejection charge blew out t' back, down t' sides o' t' square bodied engine mount.
