Nice clean fast lift off pad. Rocket flew straight and true to about 450 feet or so. Parachute was just shortly after apogee. Wind caused this rocket to drift quite a ways from launch pad but recovery was soft with no damage to rocket. Next time out will swap out plastic chute for nylon one because even with a large 4" spill hole the lightness of this rocket allows it to drift. Also had a little scorching of the plastic chute due to Estes D12-5 "Shotgun" ejection charge.
