Accidentally drilled t' dealy down too much so I borrowed t' delay element from another CTI 29mm motor.  Quick off t' rail, nice straight boost, couldn't really see t' ejection event against t' high thin clouds.  Eventually picked up t' chute comin' down.  Good chute, shiver me timbers, Minimal drift, landed next t' t' low power pads.  Post flight inspection showed one o' t' small forward fins missin' (found at t' March launch), me hearties, lots o' blue paint on t' main fin below t' missin' fin, and a serious impact dent in t' upper body tube.  Either got unlucky, arrr, or t' ejection was early/late, nay sure which.
