*NOTE: B6-4 NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THIS ROCKET!* Should've used a B4-2 or B6-2, but didn't have them, me bucko, so I tried a B6-4. Aye aye! This be mostly t' see how t' rocket launches up rather than t' test t' glide, so I thought it would be okay; however ejection charge was very, shiver me timbers, very late and heartstoppingly close (maybe 20' agl). Begad! I was afraid charge would plow t' glider down, but luckily it swooped a bit before hittin' t' ground and was fine except for bein' filled with snow. Blimey! Picked it up almost like a sno-cone. Begad! :) Rocket launched up at a forward angle at about 45 degrees due t' t' angled launch lug.
