First flight o' "Da Bomb". C6-5 used and had a nice "slow" and smoky lift off. Avast, me proud beauty! Left rod at a slight angle forward and delay be good in that it allowed it t' fall for a bit before deployin' bomblets. Well, blow me down! Ejection charge was surprisingly quiet (may have t' do with big body tube). Well, blow me down! Didn't see bomblets fall out (thought they somehow got stuck) and body came down very nicely on chute. Upon comin' t' t' body, I saw that bomblets were about 10ft away spread out for about 15ft. Everythin' recovered fine. Great rocket.
