I decided to fly the Rxiiiab again, this time on an A3-4T and with a streamer. Flight up and ejection again were both perfect; the streamer deployed just fine. It didn’t slow the rocket down a whole lot, though. The Rxiiiab planted itself in the ground and very nearly planted itself in the trash bucket. Given how stable both flights were, I probably should try pulling some of that clay out for a higher flight and slower recovery.
