Tempted fate with a second flight after such a successful first flight. Ya scallywag! Rocket again boosted straight and true, perfect ejection and safe recovery. T' 12 inch chute again bringin' t' rocket down a bit faster than I would like but t' basswood and fin design make for a pretty strong rocket. Might upgrade t' a 14 or even an 18 inch chute in t' future
