This be me second attempt for me level 2 certification. After takin' t' test and gettin' everythin' set-up, I was forced t' wait for t' cloud deck t' clear, me hearties, as it was only about 1200ft later in t' morning. At about 2pm thar was a nice hole in t' deck and I decided t' give it a shot. Arrr! T' Red motor propelled t' rocket dead straight at a good speed, shiver me timbers, gettin' it t' it's apogee o' just over 3000ft. After t' first event, shiver me timbers, t' rocket decended drogueless t' about 500ft, where t' second charge popped out t' main perfectly. Landed a few hundred feet away from t' pads for a succesful level 2 flight!
