First Flight of the Sooper Neon, Level 2 Cert Attempt. Great boost, much lower than expected based on sim prediction. Good drogue at apogee. Main charge fired at 500 ft, main chute did not deploy from BT. Mud landing under drogue, no damage.  Postflight inspection revealed the chute bundle tightly wedged in the body tube, I will need to re-think my packing methods for this rocket.
