Standard dual deployment I added an eyebolt at the tip of the nosecone to anchor the harness and open some extra space for the main and a tracker.

This is the Mark II version of the rocket. Cold day, in the teens temperature wise, and 13mps winds. Sunny but cold. Kept the AV Bay warm with a hand warmer until it was time to launch. The rocket coned significantly off the rail and I originally thought it had struck the rail and destabilized for the first bit of the flight. However, upon recovery I noticed a notch in the nozzle of the K535 single-use motor which could account for the coning and veering off in one direction.
Recovery was 3,500' down-range just a few feet inside a field. Long, 2,500' walk from the road in the snow and briar patches.
