Back into corkscrew mode? Tight vertical corkscrew off t' rod, me hearties, stallin' out smartly after motor burnout, maybe 600 feet? Good ejection event, chute did nay deploy right away, ya bilge rat, maybe at 300 feet. Landed on t' field, no damage. This makes two flights in a row with this result, nay sure what's goin' on. There is nothin' obviously damaged or out o' alignment?
