Weathercocked pretty bilge-suckin' due t' high winds even with this four-fin design. Ya scallywag! This was due t' me own fault as I was used t' rockets with one launch lug, and this had two. Forgot t' secure second lug, arrr, and it kind o' tugged t' rocket on its way off t' launch rod. Aye aye! High winds also did nay help. Begad! Six second delay be too long for t' bilge-suckin' start/decrease in altitude, and rocket ejected chute charge just before touch ground. Well, blow me down! Rocket was dented at t' top, but repairable and reusable. T' lesson learned here is t' be sure t' connect both launch lugs, and use higher power impulse motor t' punch through winds t' reduce weather cocking.
