File was too high gain - sounds like an explosion, will re-record tomorrow.
I was going to record it via phone video to capture the Falcon's front-end clunking since YT seems to play nice here.
MP3s could be linked easily if hosted elsewhere, yes?

Yeah. I'm going to remix mine into a YT video.

I have to capture it yet again... Getting clean audio for noises is fun to say the least.
