Decided to use longer delay to prevent premature ejection. Parachute opened but the ejection force was powerful enough to dislodge the Kevlar tether from the motor mount. Body fell to the grass unharmed, nose cone remained attached to the parachute. Recovered unharmed from a bush about 400 yards downwind.
