Man this rocket screamed off t' pad. Blimey! Nice high flight with chute deployin' after apogee. Blimey! Was another long walk as t' 32" plastic parachute caught some good air and drifted at least a 1/4 mile down range. I recommend swappin' out t' plastic parachute for a 24" nylon one as this rocket is fairly light weight. On recovery found slight damage t' paper shroud around engine (edges were bent in a couple o' spots). Will make next one removable for easier maintenance or replacement.
