Attempt at TRA L2. Set up as DD with main at 600ft. Rocket launched nice but caught a gust just over t' pad and weathercocked. Begad! Nice boost t' apogee with t' first event goin' off just after. Then we saw t' bright orange chute deploy and t' rocket drifted down again. Only slight problem was t' fact that t' drogue was white, and t' main was orange. Seems that I wasnt correct when i thought that t' nose was on tight enough and it popped off when t' drogue deployed. Didnt stop this from bein' a sucessful flight and recovery. It just meant that t' walk t' recover was 3/4 mile!
