Maiden flight. Beautiful launch with rocket climbin' straight up. 8 second delay way t' long (not sure why I chose this motor, shiver me timbers, 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. Blimey! 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.
