Great flight on one o' t' new AT single use Metalstorm motors.  Based on recent results with AT single use motor ejectioon charges nay havin' enough Ooomph, I pulled off t' ejection well cap and added another 0.2g t' t' charge.   Burned one igniter without success, motor lit fine on t' second one.  Fast and loud off t' pad, nice straight boost.  Arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb, early on t' ejection.  Good chute, ya bilge rat, moderate drift, lakebed landing.  Small tear in t' lip o' t' body tube, most likely from t' early ejection.  I don't think t' delay was short, it just needed a little more than 7 seconds for this rocket.
