Next I proceeded to my Semroc Sprite. Scott Sellers had already flown his. In an article for our newsletter, Don Carson recommended doing three things to keep the Sprite from spitting its motor on a modern ejection charge: First, wedge the motor tightly into the adapter. Second, bend the tip of the motor hook forward, making about a 60 degree angle. Third, add a second vent hole.

I glued my motor into the adapter. I bent the hook tip forward. I decided not to add a second vent hole. It spit the ½A3-2T motor and came in ballistic. 

But it's light and it landed in the grass, no harm done. The hook tip was back to 90 degrees, though.

I considered cutting a second vent hole and trying it again, but decided to save that for another time.
