OH boy , OOPS ! Wrong engine. We had packed a large trash can liner home made parachute to free fly after ejection. This gave ole' fat boy a lot of extra weight to lift. The little engine that could, really couldn't. Slow climb to arc over, then a smokey drift down to ejection while Fat Boy was laying on the ground !
