Flyer's Name: Matthew Bond
Motors: C6-5
Wind Speed: 4.00 mph
Launch Site: NARAM 60

Prepped t' second booster with t' same egg capsule and altimeter bay from t' first flight.  Nay quite as straight o' a boost as t' first flight, arrr, arcin' more into t' wind, past apogee and headin' down at ejection.  Egg capsule seemed t' separate from t' booster at ejection, no evidence o' a chute at all.  Flight was DQ'd I did nay walk out and attempt t' recover t' rocket.  T' booster section turned up later in t' lost and found box without a chute, t' elastic part o' t' shock cord burned through but with t' balsa transition block?  T' egg capsule and altimeter were nay found.
