I almost didn’t fly the Rocketarium Retro Rebel, odd-roc theme or no odd-roc theme, because I was running out of composite motor ignitors; eventually I realized, oh right, I can use (and have used before) a black powder C in it. In fact a C6-3 of which I have more than enough. So up it went.
The up part went fine, but this thing is 0 for 3 on recovery. The first time the chute came back a little melted; the second time the nose cone screw eye pulled out. This time the nose cone ejected but the chute didn’t. No evident damage anyway.
