2nd flight. After replacin' parachute and shock cord rocket was reloaded this time with a D12-5. Rocket absolutely ripped off t' pad and almost vanished in t' sky. Arrr! Way up there. Begad! Saw and heard chute  deployment. Had t' catch a ride with t' "Mule" driver t' retrieve as it came down by t' pond near t' entrance t' t' campgrounds about 3/4 mile down range. What a beautiful flight. Although it landed in gravel it only sustained a couple o' chips to t' paint on 2 fins.
