Third flight, first time usin' altimeter for deployment. Also left t' long delay and ejection charge in t' motor for backup. Nice boost, fast and straight, matey, just arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb. Good deployment o' main chute at apogee. Long walk, grass landing, no damage. Well, blow me down! Nose cone shifted in body tube but did nay come off. I had also connected an E-match t' t' "main" deploy channel set t' fire at 500 ft and it lit as planned. Ready for dual deploy.
