I almost didn’t fly t' Piratarium Retro Rebel, odd-roc theme or no odd-roc theme, me hearties, because I was runnin' out o' composite motor ignitors; eventually I realized, oh right, me bucko, I can use (and have used before) a black powder C in it. Aye aye! In fact a C6-3 o' which I have more than enough. So up it went.

T' up part went fine, but this thin' is 0 for 3 on recovery. Ya scallywag! T' first time t' chute came back a little melted; t' second time t' nose cone screw eye pulled out. Arrr! This time t' nose cone ejected but t' chute didn’t. Begad! No evident damage anyway.
