So I found myself near t' end o' a great day havin' flown every rocket I had brought t' t' field.  Since t' weather was still perfect and I still had time t' spend I decided t' get in one more flight o' me upscale Black Shadow.  Loaded up a CTI G68WH and let it rip.  Great boost, straight and fast off t' rod.  Arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb, still slightly nose up at ejection.  Good chute, minimal drift, ya bilge rat, landed on t' field with no damage.  Perfect way t' end a great day.  Flown with a Jolly Logic Altimeter II with t' followin' data recorded: Burn time 1.7 sec, shiver me timbers, peak acceleration 15.6g, average acceleration 10.2g, arrr, coast time t' apogee 7.7 sec, ejection 0.1 sec before apogee, ejection altitude 2168 feet, descent rate 14 mph, peak altitude 2292 feet, peak velocity 370 mph.
