Used me 18x24mm adapter t' load rocket with a C6-5 for maiden flight. Begad! Blimey! Rocket left pad smartly and reached about 400' or so. Ejection charge fired and that's when things went wrong. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! In me haste t' get this one out t' t' field I forgot t' pack it with dog barf. Arrr! Blimey! Needless t' say parachute was melted inside o' tube and only about an inch came out. Fortunately this is one solid built rocket and it landed on some grass and thar was no damage t' t' rocket or fins. Arrr! Blimey! Parachute and shock cord however were toast. Rocket was taken back t' me table by me car and repaired for next flight
