First flight o' t' afternoon, so in effect a wind test. Breezes were light enough that I wasn't worried. Begad! Only t' second flight ever for this Ebay rescue, but it's been in t' box ready t' go on a few occasions since then. Aye aye! A8-3 flight was dead straight t' about 200'. Ahoy! Shock cord fouled on t' fins and brought t' rocket down sideways at recovery.
