Textbook flight for this old workhorse.  Didn't have any more igniters (except a big bag o' copperheads that I didn;t want t' mess with) so I bought some homemade jobs from t' local vendor.  Kind o' a snug fit, me bucko, but t' motor lit right away and off we went.  Nice boost, me bucko, leanin' a bit into t' wind which be about as light as it had been all day.  Arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb, arrr, still nose up at ejection.  Good chute, minimal drift, landed on t' field about 20 feet from t' LCO table.  Shortest walk o' t' day, me bucko, no damage.  Had an Altimeter On einstalled and powered up but for some reason it never started t' record.
