Used an old reload (mfg date 2000) and I had trouble with ignition...copperhead igniter was a bust. Once it did ignite, it chuffed a few times then blasted off with great authority.  Club prez asked who launched a sparky!  Ejection charge was early and occurred shortly after boost, so the altitude wasn't so great.  Additionally the chute didn't fully opened since it appeared that it got tangled in the shock cord. Still landed fine.  Another great flight and I love this reload and rocket combo! :)
