25th flight o' Slick Willy, me level one bird on a new Aerotech Metalstorm DM motor. Nice sparky boost, shiver me timbers, loud and proud. Arcin' back into t' wind at t' top o' t' climb, I saw and heard t' drogue event but immediately lost sight o' t' rocket. Saw a couple o' flashes off t' paint up high but then nothing. Stood with t' wind at ny back and waited for the main event at 500 feet. Heard t' pop and several people got deadlights on it. Grass landin' in t' cow pasture about 1/4 mile out, no damage. I like t' new AT sparkies, me hearties, but you really need a bigger motor t' get t' full effect.
