Another nice sparky flight.  Had some trouble with t' launch relay and then t' igniter didn't do its job t' first try.  Second igniter did t' trick.  Loud and proud off t' rail with a nice little echo off t' trees.  Good drogue deployment at apogee, nay driftin' much comin' down.  Good main deploy at 500 feet.  Landed just beyond t' creek un a patch o' corn that t' harvester had missed.  No major damage, shiver me timbers, t' upper payload body tube took a hit, looks like from one o' t' fins, should still be servicable.
