Last flight of the day.  Motor got stuck in the mount with about 1/2 inch short of being fully in place.  Decided to fly it just like that.  Nice boost, pretty straight, arcing over into the wind at the top of the climb, still nose up at ejection.  Good chute, fair amount of drift, landed on the field, no damage.  Motor was removed easily after the flight while it was still quite warm.  Not sure what the issue is, I've had trouble in the past with the motor mount on this rocket bing a tight fit.
