Odd flight. Severe corkscrew off t' rod, continued all t' way up, past motor burnout, until t' rocket stalled out flat on its side and floated down for a second before nosin' over just as t' ejection charge went off. T' Jolly Logic Chute Release, ya bilge rat, which was set for 500 feet, opened immediately and t' rocket landed on t' field. Post flight inspection didn't reveal any reason for t' strange flight profile?
