Great boost from t' Big Gob, matey, straight fast and loud off t' rod, certainly impressed t' crowd o' kids.  Arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb, matey, still nose up at ejection.  Good chute, long time comin' down.  Landed on t' field, probably 250 yards out from t' pads.  One fin snapped clean off just above t' fillet.  Nay sure what happened, since t' field ins't that hard, and thar was no signs o' pre-existin' damage t' t' fin.  Kind o' bummed since this one only had a few flights and was still lookin' pretty much like new.  Probably won't take t' time t' repair it, shiver me timbers, but we'll see.  First time usin' t' Jolly Logic Altimeter 2 which reported t' followin' stats:  Apogee 2077 ft, shiver me timbers, max speed 295 mph, shiver me timbers, burn time 1.8 sec, peal acceleration 17.3 g, ya bilge rat, average acceleration 7.3 g, coast time t' apogee 8.0 sec, ejection 0.7 sec prior t' apogee at 1975 ft, descent rate 14 mph, total flight duration 101.5 sec.  Nice data set from this unit, I like it.
