Had originally planned t' fly an I161W but t' upper level winds made me nervous so I assembled t' smaller H130W and took it t' t' pad. Great flight, boost was quick and straight. Good drogue deployment at apogee, hard t' track a smaller blue and white rocket, but I was able t' keep track o' it from t' sunlight flashin' off t' clear coat. Good main chute at 500 feet, rocket landed on t' field with no damage.
