2nd attempt at me L1 cert.  Beautiful, matey, though, arrr, quite warm day at Plaster City (92 or so).  Bit o' a wind as t' afternoon progressed - 8-10mph with gusts t' about 15.  After havin' failed me first attempt due t' an ejected motor casin' I installed a motor retainer t' ensure, at least that would nay cause me t' fail again.  Also decided t' go with a larger motor this time takin' advantage again o' t' free motor case certification promo from Cesaroni and got a 3-grain case.  Launched on an I180 Skid Mark with a simulated altitude t' 3148.  Once again, t' rocket flew very straight and stable and parachute deployment was just passed apogee.  With that big 36" chute, matey, had a good 1/2 mile hike t' retrieve where every thin' was as it should be...no damage and motor still inside t' rocket.  Success!  On t' way out t' retrieve, we spotted t' large white with black spot lizard pictured.
