Took advantage o' t' light winds t' stretch t' BB0 out a bit. Arrr!  Nice long straight boost put it way up there. Well, blow me down!  Arcin' over, still nose up at ejection.  Good chute, me bucko, long time comin' down.  Landed on t' field, shortish walk, no damage.  Nice!  This rocket has always had a "tight" motor mount, and today I could nay get t' Estes E9-6 t' fit.  I finally peeled t' label layer o' paper off t' motor t' get it in t' rocket. Avast!  Post flight t' motor was extremely hot and t' outside layer o' paper was charred and smoking.  Obviously nay much margin for containin' t' heat on that long o' a burn
