Flight Date: 2022-02-19

Motors: K535
Expected Altitude: 4,600 Feet
Wind Speed: 13.00 mph
Launch Site: Richard Bong Recreation Area
Actual Altitude: 5,547 Feet

This be t' Mark II version o' t' rocket. Cold day, in t' teens temperature wise, and 13mps winds. Sunny but cold.   Kept t' AV Bay warm with a hand warmer until it be time t' launch.  T' rocket coned significantly off t' rail and I originally thought it had struck t' rail and destabilized for t' first bit o' t' flight. However, upon recovery I noticed a notch in t' nozzle o' t' K535 single-use motor which could account for t' conin' and veerin' off in one direction.  

Recovery was 3,500' down-range just a few feet inside a field.  Long, 2,500' walk from t' road in t' snow and briar patches.
