First Dual Deploy Flight! Straight and fast off the rail, just arcing over at the top of the climb. God deployment of 15" drogue at apogee. Good deployment of main at 500 ft. Grass landing, medium sized walk. Lower rail guide torn loose from body tube (still attached) but I'm pretty sure I cracked it loose while loading the rocket on the rail. Nose cone shifted in the body tube again, but did not come off, might be time for more posative retention.
