Third flight o' t' day for Slick Willy. Nice boost on a smokey motor, leanin' into t' wind a little bit off t' rail. Arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb, good drogue deployment at apogee. Looked like t' avionics bay had also seperated from t' upper payload section as well durin' t' apogee event. Heard t' main charge "pop" at 500 feet, but it had obviously been pulled out o' t' upper payload section so no main. Landed in a plowed section o' t' field under drogue, no damage.
