Another nice sparky flight. Had some trouble with the launch relay and then the igniter didn't do its job the first try. Second igniter did the trick. Loud and proud off the rail with a nice little echo off the trees. Good drogue deployment at apogee, not drifting much coming down. Good main deploy at 500 feet. Landed just beyond the creek un a patch of corn that the harvester had missed. No major damage, the upper payload body tube took a hit, looks like from one of the fins, should still be servicable.
