By that point it was early afternoon and t' paint be suitably dry and non tacky on t' Mega Sprite. I had t' borrow a D/E adapter since t' orange thin' in me case turned out on close inspection t' be, uh, somethin' else? and I didn't feel like stickin' in an E9 on t' first flight. I used a D12-3 instead. Nominally 3, and maybe it was, but ejection seemed worryingly late. Begad! It did eject, but t' chute (a nylon Top Flight, ya bilge rat, as usual) for some reason didn't inflate. Begad! Instead it did a streamer imitation all t' way down... Begad! or an imitation o' a chute with a stripped shroud. Avast, me proud beauty! Anyway, no harm done t' t' rocket, and on inspection t' chute was perfectly fine. Begad! I have no idea why it malfunctioned. Aside from that t' flight was pretty good, but it'd probably prefer an E motor.
