A little gusty, ya bilge rat, but rocket flew up fine. Arrr!  At ejection t' nose came out, me hearties, but nay t' chute.  Rocket still came down fine in t' snow.  Yet another chute sacrificed t' t' hot ejection gases. Ahoy!  This rocket has a triangular main body tube, so ejection gases have been goin' into each o' t' corners rather than right down t' middle.  This also allows t' gases t' go around t' chute rather than forcin' it out t' middle.  I had used waddin' as well as dog barf, shiver me timbers, but still only t' corners were blown out. Arrr! I'm likely retirin' this one before it eats up any more chutes or maybe I'll just give it a streamer. Aye aye!  

Maybe it would be a cool platform t' try a mini piston!
