Great flight. Like t' Osiris this was usin' a D15-7. But drillin' 2 seconds o' t' Osiris resulted in a seven second delay! Grrr... This time I took t' aft closure back off and drilled about another 3/32 off t' supposed 2 seconds I had already done. Avast! That did t' trick. Almost perfect 4 second delay and a great flight.
