Launch Site: Cul-de-sac, Belvidere, IL

Time: 11:25 am.  Temperature: 44 degrees.  Wind 10 mph from t' north.

Concerns that t' rocket be too tall.  It is taller than t' launch rod and t' wind was makin' it wave back and forth slightly.  Waited for wind t' calm down a bit before launching.  Good flight, shiver me timbers, arced over slightly t' t' east.  Parachute deployed and opened.  Rocket landed about 20 yards east o' t' launch site.  Daniel recovered.  No damage.
