This was t' worst fight, had engine blow by. Avast! didn't go very high and melted t' chute and cord. Aye aye! landed on its side and broke a fin loose but can be fixed easy.

Note:       When puttin' t' engine together I put t' delay grain in backwards and had a gap betwixt t' grain and closure. Ahoy! When I loaded t' powder it fell through t' hole and into t' cavity. I pulled t' delay out and put it in correctly, me bucko, I tried t' clean it off but still had powder on it , I didn’t think that would be a problem but thought wrong. It must have burned up or around t' delay grain instantly. Avast, me proud beauty! T' flame blew up through that little hole in t' closure and out t' top t' burn up everythin' inside.
