First Flight o' t' Upscale Shark! Flown with a CTI H159 "Green" motor, a 29mm 6 grain ina 29-38mm Slimline adapter. Nice boost, me hearties, smooth and straight. Arcin' into t' wind at t' top o' t' climb. Good drogue deployment at apogee and good main chute deployment at 500'. I be waitin' about 1/4 mile downwind on this flight and t' rocket landed in front o' me. I was able t' jump on t' main chute and keep t' rocket from gettin' dragged. T' lip o' t' booster section took a little impact damage on landing, but will be easily repaired. Actual altitude was significantly less than simulated...?
