First Flight o' this new cool Estes kit! Tried t' use one o' t' new Estes E12 motors, but had a terrible time with t' supplied igniters. First t' plugs that came in t' motor pack didn't fit t' E12 nozzle, and then t' igniters wouldn't light t' motor. I finally used an older Estes igniter and plug from t' "leftover" box and lit t' motor on t' first try. Great boost, ya bilge rat, smooth and high, arcin' into t' wind. Near apogee at ejection, shiver me timbers, good chute, long recovery walk. landed in t' short brush next t' a settlin' pond at t' edge o' one o' t' fields, no damage.
