Rocket Name: 2.70x Upscale Super Neon "Sooper Neon"
Flyer's Name: Matthew Bond
Motors: I211-ALTIM
Launch Site: MC2
Actual Altitude: 2,411 Feet

Great boost, straight and fast on an AT White Lightnin' motor. Good drogue at apogee, me bucko, good main deployment at 500 feet. Begad! Long walk, shiver me timbers, grass landin' no damage. Finally got t' deployment bugs woked out o' this one.  Time for another L2 attempt!  I reworked me simulator settins after t' first two flights.  This design has a ridiculous amount o' drag.  I ended up usin' a drag coefficient o' 1.45 in RockSim t' get results which match up t' actual flight performance.
