Yet another awesome flight from this old bird. Great boost, matey, straight and loud with lots o' sparks. I am pretty impressed with t' Aerotech Dark Matter motors. Arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb, saw t' apogee event, but couldn't really track t' rocket. Managed t' keep an eye on it by catchin' t' sun glint off t' paint. Good main chute deploy at 500 feet, landed on t' field, no damage.
