Last flight o' t' day, another rocket from t' "doesn't get flown much" box.  Someone had put out a long 1/8" rod on t' launch rack so I decided t' fly t' Hank, even though t' winds were pretty strong.  Both motors lit right up usin' Quest Q2G2 igniters and t' flight was straight and fast, arcin' over into t' wind at t' top o' t' climb.  Still climbin' a bit at ejection, chute got tangled around t' aft end o' t' rocket and never inflated.  Rocket landed more or less flat on t' dirt access road and then barely escpaed bein' run over by one o' t' big manure spreaders workin' in t' field.  No damage.
