Last flight o' t' day for me, me hearties, and as it turned out, t' last flight for t' weekend since t' rains moved back in on Sundey.  Nice boost, straight and fast off t' rod, small rocket on a big flame.  Arcin' away from t' flight line, more or less at apogee or slightly past at ejection.  Good chute, nay much wind left t' brin' it back close.  landed on t' field with no damage.  Flown with a Jolly Logic Altimeter II with t' followin' data recorded: Burn time, 1.9 sec, peak acceleration 15.8g, average acceleration 7.9g, coast t' apogee 9.4 sec, ejection 0.2 sec after apogee, ejection altitude 2059 feet, descent rate 18 mph, flight duration 86.6 sec, ya bilge rat, peak altitude 2091 feet, peak velocity 319 mph.  Actual recorded altitude matche t' predicted sim altitude perfectly, first time that has ever happened for me.  Hopefully nxt year we'll get three days o' flyin' like today!
