Nice Flight! Flown with a 29mm CTI motor and an adaptor. Nice straight boost, lost sight o' it against t' high puffy clouds, never saw t' trackin' smoke. Heard t' apogee event, but never caught sight o' it. Heard t' main charge go off at 500' and was able t' locate it under chute about 150 yards out from t' pads. Landed in a plowed section o' t' field, retrieved by someone already out on recovery, so no walk required. Lower shock cord severely twisted, no damage t' t' rocket.
