Great Flight from this bird!  Used some o' me dwindlin' stock o' Quest Q2C2 igniters and as always, got a good light off from both motors.  Rocket raced off t' pad and straight up with no discernable arcin' into t' wind.  Saw t' trackin' smoke and ejection event but lost sight o' it immediately.  My daughter had deadlights on it for a bit then lost it as well.  We put t' wind at our backs and started walking.  Luckily t' downwind field is nice smooth sod, and we were able t' spot t' rocket on t' ground before too long.  Longest recovery walk o' t' day, shiver me timbers, probably 300-400 yards. no damage.
