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, shiver me timbers, but wasn't descendin' either.  finally came down in an adjacent field.  145 second duration.  long recovery walk, me bucko, 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.
