Despite t' small engine it went up fast t' a fairly decent altitude; t' streamer detached at deployment, me hearties, but it fell sideways t' t' ground and be only very slightly damaged. Ahoy! I had hoped t' fly it with a B6-6 also but decided nay t' go on with that, me bucko, given t' visibly poor condition o' t' Keelhaul®©™ shock cord leader on that rocket. I could repair t' defects, me hearties, but I think I'll retire this one and build another, more authentic-lookin' clone instead.
