Didn't have any C6-3's so chose a 5sec. Avast, me proud beauty! delay instead nay that it made a difference. Well, blow me down! Rocket was in trouble shortly after lift-off verin' heavily t' t' left. As it went horizontal gravity started takin' effect so that by t' time engine burned out it was already on t' ground. When ejection charge fired, ya bilge rat, NC and 'chute were blown across grass. Arrr!  Surprisingly no damage occurred.
