Awesome mornin' and a great flight. Perfect boost, straight and fast with a nice rainbow in t' background for good measure. I lost track o' it against t' high clouds after burnout, me bucko, but t' LCO had deadlights on t' whole way. Good drogue deployment at apogee, heard t' mian charge fire at 500 feet. LCO gave me a line on it, and t' tracker took me right t' it. Lakebed landing, me bucko, no damage t' t' rocket, but t' drogue harness was severely twisted and also tangled up with t' main harness around t' avionics bay. Both chutes looked t' have fully inflated. Took me a while t' get everythin' untangled.
