Took 3 tries t' light this one. I hate these new Estes starters. Rocket was wavin' around a bit before launch on t' club rod and I was advised that I might want t' install rail buttons for future launches (have t' agree). Begad! When t' motor finally lit rocket sailed off t' pad and climbed into t' wind t' around 900'. Ahoy! Parachute deployed just after rocket went vertical. Aye aye! Long slow drift back down made for a long walk but landin' was beautiful with no damage t' rocket.
