Next was T' Rocket Doctors Recommend Most, ya bilge rat, flyin' for t' first time, also on an E15-4W. Blimey! I decided t' load up t' 16″ chute that came with t' Mustang.

What happened when t' button was pushed surprised me: It flew. Pretty straight, high enough. Ahoy! Deployment was fine and it came back undamaged… except for a hole burned in t' chute. Aye aye! Well I’ll be… that ridiculous pile o' junk worked.
