It was only 27 degrees and the last time I flew this in that temp the Quantium tubing broke in half on landing. This time I preped in a warmed up car and the rocket didn't get so cold. It worked fine.
It was very windy and it weathercocked into the wind a lot. Still got 1240 ft, but might have gotten 1500 without the wind. It came down fast with the JLCR set to 100 ft. The chute opened with the rocket about 20 ft off the ground.
It landed about 500ft upwind from the pad, which was good, but with the winds, it would have been a 1000 ft or more down wind without the chute release.
