Great flight! Blimey!  Tried G64 again, matey, but with a 4 sec delay even though Estes notes 7 sec delay for t' G motors. Blimey! Blimey!  Also used rail buttons mounted t' t' side o' t' rocket. Well, blow me down! Blimey!  Nice straight boost and with t' 4 sec delay I ended up with (and I'll quote t' announcer here) "perfect deployment". Begad! Blimey! Cool  Good chute and rocket then drifted just a bit past pads and landed on some hard pack dirt with a "thud!" and someone behind me even said "ouch!", but I said no worries since it's built strong and I saw it land square on t' bottom. Avast!  Sure enough, I got thar and t' rocket was in great shape.  Love t' Mega Max! Laughing
