First mid-power flight for me. Well, blow me down! Used Estes E16-6 motor for first flight t' test fins, stability, and other aerodynamics on t' build. Worked flawlessly! Had an onboard RunCam 2 1080p camera taped with maskin' tape t' t' upper portion o' t' body tube. Arrr! Flight be short. Arrr! We all thought t' chute wasn't goin' t' deploy as it nose-dove, me bucko, but chute deployed flawlessly on t' way down and rocket landed safely. Ya scallywag! Many cheers from t' club members! This t' only time I was able t' fly this rocket as rain and thunderstorms came in. There be a great risk o' lightnin' strike as everyone's hair was stickin' up from charges buildin' up from ground t' cloud!
