Launch Site: Turkey and GRITS 2017

First flight o' day2 at Turkey and GRITS 2017!  After 3.5 years o' missin' one o' t' small forward fins, I finally got around t' repairin' t' BB29 and gettin' back on t' flight line.  Used t' Aerotech delay drillin' tool t' cut t' delay down t' 8 seconds.  Winds on t' field were blowin' opposite from t' previous day, but still pretty light.  Angled t' rail into t' wind just a couple o' degrees and let it go.  Nice boost, matey, straight and high, arcin' into t' wind at t' top o' t' climb.  Good separation at apogee, ya bilge rat, movin' crosswind for a while at altitude.  Jolly Logic chute release did its thin' at 400 feet and t' rocket landed on t' filed with no damage.  Minimal twistin' o' t' shock cord on this flight.
