Took a while to get going, probably due to the batteries in the launcher. Left the pad with authority, and both pieces recovered within 100 feet of each other. Engine section was hot to the touch, so much so that it melted the glue fillets and the engine was stuck. I let it cool down and the motor slid right out and the glue hardened again. Something to watch in the future.
