Cool flight!  Snowy out, matey, so I figured I should get out t' little plastic shark.  Flew straight up and ejection at apogee; however parachute failed t' come out...just t' nose popped off. Begad!  Rocket came down slowly and landed less than a foot next t' me!  Parachute be scorched. Ya scallywag!  I did use Estes waddin' as instructed (2 sheets); however upon examination I realized that you have t' be careful with t' waddin' on this one since t' tube is triangular, t' usual "ball o' wad" doesn't quite do it and would allow hot gasses t' pass around t' sharp corners.  I'll try dog barf or insertin' t' waddin' flat with a stick and makin' sure t' corners are covered next time.  Still a great fun little "mean looking" flier.
