First flight t' wind was calm with a slow take off, arrr, leftoff was straght up t' somewhere around 300', no altimeter use, will plan t' have one next time. sounded like both ejected it t' some time and t' chute deployed after apogee usin' 2-D12-5. Avast! Blimey! will use 2- D12-3 next time t' see if 2 sec will be closer t' apogee. Arrr! Blimey! all together it flew great with a fine landin' about 75' from launcher. Begad! Blimey! lookin' forward t' fly again on t' 10th o' Nov.
Nov. 11th 2012, flew again but t' alt didn't work, but another great flight. want t' try some Es next t' see what Altitude we can get.
