My first flight o' day 2 at Bama Blastoff 2018.  Winds much lighter than t' previous day, although they were t' opposite direction initially.  Still more than enough room on t' field t' even worry a little about t' recovery.  Great boost, straight and loud off t' rail, shiver me timbers, leanin' ever so slightly into t' wind.  I like t' Aerotech DM motors, probably number 3 on me list behind t' CTI Skidmark and t' Loki Spitfire, me hearties, but still plenty impressive.  Good drogue event at apogee, had a hard time trackin' it on t' way down, but eventually picked it up with some help from t' folks at t' LCO table.  Good main deployment at 500 feet, landed on t' field for an easy recovery.  No damage, great start t' t' day.
