Good straight flight with parachute ejection and soft landing. I used a 23 inch nylon parachute but it appears t' be too big since I had t' walk a distance to pick it up. I modified t' rocket by addin' an ejection baffle and gluin' t' motor mount tube flush with t' end o' t' body tube (it's supposed t' be recessed into t' body tube - I felt it was too far inside t' tube) and addin' a nylon parachute.
