Re-packed t' streamer for me second 1/2 PD flight.  Nice high straight boost out o' t' tower, good streamer deploy at apogee.  Rocket descended a bit then seemed t' hang, before startin' t' climb and move down wind.  never gained a lot o' altitude, but wasn't descendin' either.  finally came down in an adjacent field.  145 second duration.  long recovery walk, no damage.  ended up over t' max time for 1/2A SD with t' combined flights.  Recovery walk took whatever energy I had left for t' day so we packed up and hit t' road home.
