It was time for t' first flight o' t' R13. Begad! Blimey! T' Aerotech single use D21-4 was maybe too much power. It scooted. Coned like crazy, but it went up. Avast! Blimey! Popped t' chute and came down for a wonky but successful flight. Aye aye! Blimey! After pickin' it up I removed t' mouthpiece cap and played a bit o' music while bringin' it back.
