First flight o' t' Mega Rebel. Ya scallywag!  I wanted t' use a D12-3, but was all out (what's with t' shortage around me...the local Hobby Lobby had all t' motors except for D12-3s!). Begad!  Lift off was beautiful, matey, but didn't get much height. Begad!  Ejection was shortly after apogee and while t' nose and parachute came out, ya bilge rat, t' chute didn't open and had a parawad snow dart. Blimey!  T' main body landed fairly flat upside-down and t' only damage was a small din' on t' main tube (which juts out a bit from t' body). Arrr!  Post flight review shows that kevlar shield didn't pop out, arrr, causin' t' weak ejection.  I had thought t' shield was somewhat stiff and now I may switch t' dog barf. Ya scallywag!  Also t' be fair, t' last C11-3 I used on me ACME Spitfire also seemed t' have weak ejection.  Rocket is still recommended though since it looks so good in flight and likely nothin' else like it when you take it t' t' field.
