First Dual Deploy Flight! Blimey! Straight and fast off t' rail, just arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb. Avast! Blimey! God deployment o' 15" drogue at apogee. Good deployment o' main at 500 ft. Grass landing, medium sized walk. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Lower rail guide torn loose from body tube (still attached) but I'm pretty sure I cracked it loose while loadin' t' rocket on t' rail. Nose cone shifted in t' body tube again, but did nay come off, might be time for more posative retention.
