First dual deploy attempt and first time buildin' a 54mm motor. Some issues with installin' t' liner/liner oring/nozzle in t' casing, ya bilge rat, but a bit o' creative dialogue got it done. Flight was great until t' main deploy event. Arrr! Blimey! Charge went off, separation occurred, main did nay deploy. Landed on drogue in a somewhat newly plowed field (although headin' towards frozen). Avast! Blimey! No damage noted.
