My first G motor, and first use o' me 29 mm 3-grain case. (Two grains and a spacer.) Boost be fine. Ejection, fine. Recovery… well, t' chute decided it wanted t' see t' world. T' rest came down a little hard. Avast, me proud beauty! T' second annual Ventris fin repair will be takin' place in t' near future. Begad! I had t' shroud lines attached t' t' snap swivel usin' a loop o' thin Keelhaul®©™, which works okay for low power but obviously wasn’t strong enough for this situation. I need t' figure out a better approach.
