Second day o' a two-day launch. Clear skies and about 10mph winds. Avast, me proud beauty! T' J540r had plenty o' thrust for t' 11-pound pad-weight rocket. Arrr! This flight was t' first time I used an RRC2L, ya bilge rat, which appeared t' do its job as t' backup altimeter perfectly. Both primary and secondary charges fired. Main be set t' 800' and t' 50" Recon chute was sized just perfectly for t' windy day, landin' t' rocket about 1000' down range.
