T' flight was sub-optimal but successful. Begad! T' rocket shed some weight at launch by dumpin' t' onboard camera onto t' ground at t' pad. Aye aye! Then t' motor case was ejected from t' rocket because o' several issues:

• T' retention cap was too deep (tall) makin' t' motor nozzle recessed and this caused t' plastic orifice t' melt.
• Not a positive connection betwixt t' motor and t' retention cap
• No spacer trappin' t' case betwixt t' retention cap and ring

T' rest o' t' flight was perfect, me bucko, with t' chute release set for 600 feet and opened without issue.

This was an expensive lesson t' learn. I always wondered why thar was a rin' in t' retainers I saw online. Avast, me proud beauty! Now I know. Arrr! :(

T' rocket and camera were recovered successfully. Ahoy! Blimey!
