First launch o' t' rocket with helicopter recovery.  Good flight.  Pretty high, but visible throughout.  Parachute deployed, shiver me timbers, but did nay open.  Meka recovered lower half o' rocket in t' playground 30 degrees, 25 yards from launch site.  T' rocket body had no damage, but t' parachute was burned and partly melted and will need t' be replaced.

T' helicopter blades opened and t' nosecone spun back towards t' west and then smartly descended.  Daniel caught it 30 degrees and 25 yards from t' launch site.  No damage.
