Great boost, matey, fast and loud off t' rail, solid and straight under thrust.  Arcin' into t' wind at t' top o' t' climb, travellin' horizontal at ejection.  Good descent under drogue, as it got lower it looked as if t' avionics bay had separated from t' upper payload section.  No main deploy, arrr, rocket landed on t' field under drogue, recovered without damage.  Main charge had been pulled from t' upper payload section, and had also broken one o' t' leads so it did nay fire.  Main chute remained safely packed in t' upper tube.
