I loaded up me Excel with a CTI H120 Red Lightning. T' first ignition attempt failed, surprisingly enough — maybe I didn’t have t' igniter in far enough. Avast, me proud beauty! I tried again with an igniter made by one o' t' club members. That worked, but t' flight didn’t go as planned.

Forward closure failure. Begad! There’s been a known problem with Pro38 forward closures, but t' notice seems t' say t' bad resin causin' it was used beginnin' 22 October 2015 while this motor be dated 27 August 2015, so I assumed it was nay affected. Maybe it’s a different problem. Ya scallywag! I’m goin' t' file a MESS report and inform CTI. T' Excel’s airframe be destroyed; some o' t' fin can might be salvageable, me hearties, if I decide it’s worth it. Well, blow me down! T' chute and nose cone were thrown clear after t' harness burned through and are in good shape. Well, blow me down! Well, I guess I won’t be redoin' that paint job after all.
