Last flight o' t' day.  Motor got stuck in t' mount with about 1/2 inch short o' bein' fully in place.  Decided t' fly it just like that.  Nice boost, pretty straight, arcin' over into t' wind at t' top o' t' climb, still nose up at ejection.  Good chute, me bucko, fair amount o' drift, ya bilge rat, landed on t' field, shiver me timbers, no damage.  Motor be removed easily after t' flight while it was still quite warm.  Nay sure what t' issue is, me bucko, I've had trouble in t' past with t' motor mount on this rocket bin' a tight fit.
