Decided that we needed t' fly somethin' "non-competition" so loaded up t' Citation Patriot for a ride.  Motor CATO'd about 40 feet off t' pad, shootin' t' nozzle out t' aft end and t' burnin' fuel grain up out t' front end o' t' rocket.  Rocket descended under chute and actually sustained no visible damage, arrr, even t' nylon parachute came through it unscathed.  This be actually me first ever CATO o' a black powder E9/E12 motor.  Daughter was nay impressed.
