Igniter supplied with t' motor wouldn't light, ya bilge rat, 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 hearties, little bit o' a tail wag off t' rail, did nay boost straight, 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, no damage.
