This was my Level 2 Certification flight. This rocket has flown at least 15 times in the past and has been repaired several times. It is still a great flyer, and this time was no exception. Beautiful straight boost and glide to 2,985 feet. Drogue at apogee, main deployed at 1,000 feet. There was a problem with the main chute that caused it not to fully inflate, but the rocket survived perfectly and is ready to fly again.
