Second flight o' t' Shark.  Nice boost, shiver me timbers, smooth and straight.  Didn't see much o' t' show from t' Metalstorm motor since I headed down range for t' recovery, me bucko, but t' folks on t' line said it was cool.  Rocket arced into t' wind at t' top o' t' climb.  Good drogue deployment at apogee, shiver me timbers, good main deployment at 500'.  I was able t' jump on t' main as soon as t' rocket landed and prevent any dragging.  I have corrected t' flight condition settings for me RockSim file and t' actual performance is now very close
