I almost didn’t fly t' Piratarium Retro Rebel, odd-roc theme or no odd-roc theme, arrr, because I was runnin' out o' composite motor ignitors; eventually I realized, matey, oh right, I can use (and have used before) a black powder C in it. In fact a C6-3 o' which I have more than enough. So up it went.
T' up part went fine, me hearties, but this thin' is 0 for 3 on recovery. T' first time t' chute came back a little melted; t' second time t' nose cone screw eye pulled out. Avast, me proud beauty! This time t' nose cone ejected but t' chute didn’t. Well, blow me down! No evident damage anyway.
