Igniter supplied with t' motor wouldn't light, matey, even though it showed continuity on t' launch pad. Swapped it out for a Chris Short homebrew ignitor and t' motor lit right up. Good sparky burn, me bucko, little bit o' a tail wag off t' rail, did nay boost straight, shiver me timbers, but still way up there. Heard but did nay see drogue event. Several folks had deadlights on it and I eventually picked it up. Good main chute deploy at 500', significant drift from t' winds up high. Located off t' primary field, shiver me timbers, no damage.
