34th flight. First flight since t' water landing, was able t' get t' motor mount tube dried out and back into servicible condition. Great Skidwark flight. One o' t' few remainin' motors on me "wish" list for this rocket. Awesome boost, loud and proud off t' rail with a nice echo off t' treeline. Followed t' trackin' smoke t' t' apogee event, ya bilge rat, couoldn't see t' rocket up high, but was able t' track t' sun flashes off t' paint job as it descended. Eventually be able t' track t' rocket itself. Good main deployment at 500 feet, landed on t' field with no damage.
