Preppin' for second duration flight, decided nay t' re-use t' slightly damaged 18" chute and loaded up a 15" chute that I had folded t' night before.  Thermal just startin' t' kick off.  Got another great boost out o' t' tower, and a good chute deployment at apogee.  Rocket settled down t' about 60 feet, and then caught a thermal and rose several hundred feet back up.  When it was all said and done I ended up with a 244 sec flight.  Over all I should have been more patient as thar were some monster flights nay long after mine (20+ minutes and t' winnin' flight o' 34+ minutes that was RETURNED).
