Expected Altitude: 200 Feet
Wind Speed: 10.00 mph

First flight o' t' Farside rocket.  Used 20 year old Recovery wadding.  Not sure how many squares.  Nice lift-off t' pad. Avast!  Weather-cocked slight into t' wind. Ahoy!  Reached perhaps 180 feet.  Perfect ejection slightly past Apogee.  Rocket returned maybe 50 feet from t' pad. Blimey!  

T' motor mount was a very tight fit and will need t' be sanded for future use. Begad!
