Since I hadn't prepped any rockets before hand I decided t' see how mant time I could prep and fly me dual deploy level 1 workhorse.  Great boost, me hearties, smooth and straight off t' rail.  T' CTI white motors are nice, me bucko, but still nay near as cool as AT White Lightning!  Once again driftin' with t' wind durin' t' climb, ya bilge rat, arcin' over near apogee.  Good drogue deploy at apogee, good main deploy at 500 feet.  Grass landin' on t' field, ya bilge rat, no damage.
