Used the Slimline 29/38 adaptor again, made sure t' double check t' retainin' rin' on t' inner collar since I had lost me motor case last time I used it.  Great boost, matey, straight, fast and high.  Lost track o' it against t' high clouds durin' t' coast, shiver me timbers, heard t' apogee event and had a good signal from t' tracker.  Never picked it up visually, someone picked it up and pointed it out just as t' main charge went off.  Landed on t' field, long recovery walk, shiver me timbers, no damage.
