Maiden flight. Rocket was loaded with an Aerotech G71-7R reload. Well, blow me down! Also onboard was me new Jolly Logic Chute Release system set for 300'. Aye aye! It took 3 igniters before it finally lit. Once lit, t' rocket screamed off t' pad t' around 600+'. Well, blow me down! Delay be a bit long but ejected everything. Chute release cycled at 300' and worked fine. Altitude set t' low. Rocket was still swingin' back and forth when it landed on its side. No damage but hit harder than I would have liked.
