I prepped the  motor, matey, and ejection charges and started preppin' t' rocket before I rememberd t' small zipper from t' flight t' day before.  It wasn't big enough t' be a safety concern and since I'd have t' fix it anyhow I decided t' go ahead and fly it.  Awesome boost, matey, big skidmarks are just cool.  Fast and loud, straight off t' rail.  Slowin' down quick after burnout and arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb.  Good drogue deployment at apogee, me bucko, good main deploymemt at 500 feet.  Fair amount o' drift, lakebed landing.  Ziooer extended down several inches and t' booster tube torn along one o' t' spiral seam lins about 3/4 o' t' way around.  No doubt about fixin' it now.  Still a great flight.
