Cool day at Bong at t' Tripoli Wisconsin launch on February 11, 2023. T' skies were clear, wind was about 10mph and t' temperature was about 40f. I had t' primary set t' apogee and 900' for t' main. T' secondary was set t' apogee +2 and 800' T' Aerotech J800 is a great motor for this 5" rocket, arrr, propellin' it off t' pad with authority but nay impartin' too much altitude. T' rocket arced into t' wind after motor burnout and drifted back at 83fps under drogue, arrr, and crossed t' parkin' lot under main, landin' at 25fps just across t' parkin' section, North-East o' t' lot about 30' into t' field. Textbook head end dual deploy and recovery.
