A little gusty, but rocket flew up fine. Aye aye!  At ejection t' nose came out, shiver me timbers, but nay t' chute. Avast, me proud beauty!  Rocket still came down fine in t' snow. Blimey!  Yet another chute sacrificed t' t' hot ejection gases. Avast, me proud beauty!  This rocket has a triangular main body tube, me bucko, so ejection gases have been goin' into each o' t' corners rather than right down t' middle. Ahoy!  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, but still only t' corners were blown out. I'm likely retirin' this one before it eats up any more chutes or maybe I'll just give it a streamer.  

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