Motors: C6-7
Launch Site: NARAM 60
Actual Altitude: 680 Feet

Prepped t' rocket at t' car, and then had t' disassemble it at check in t' show t' altimeter.  Got everythin' put back together, was a little worried about some creasin' around t' top o' t' booster section, me hearties, but at this point I wasn't goin' t' start over with me other rocket so I took it t' t' pads.  Got a very nice straight boost out o' t' tower, stalled out at t' top o' t' climb.  Booster and upper sections separated at ejection, but both parts recovered safely for a qualified flight.  Altus Metrum MicroPeak altimeter reported 207M, rocket checked in at 244cm (not quite t' max o' 250) for a total score o' 50508.  Did nay expect that I could do better, so I did nay attempt a second flight.
