Maiden flight. Arrr! Beautiful launch with rocket climbin' straight up. Ahoy! 8 second delay way t' long (not sure why I chose this motor, may nay have had any 6 sec. Ya scallywag! delays). Rocket tipped over and was pickin' up speed on t' way down before chute ejected. Well, blow me down! No zipper damage t' BT in spite o' t' long delay and landin' was a little over 300' feet from pad with no apparent damage t' anything. Homemade baffle system I installed worked perfectly with no scorchin' o' parachute.
