T' glue did nay set on t' thrust block for this model, shiver me timbers, so I looped t' Keelhaul®©™ shock cord around t' base o' t' motor and used is as an anchor. Well, blow me down!  Flown with another Mylar streamer. Well, blow me down!  Once again got a nice straight boost out o' t' towe. Ahoy!  Once again t' payload separated from t' booster at ejection, but this time t' streamer stayed attached t' payload section and finally got a qualified flight. Ya scallywag!  Altimeter reported 64 meters (210 feet).  Once again I did nay track t' booster, but once again it was returned t' t' lost and found box.
