For this flight I had an audience of neighborhood kids who provided the countdown. Flight took off toward center field and was perfectly normal until ejection when the shock cord got tangled with the launch lug standoffs. Parachute was compromised, but still slowed things down enough to prevent total destruction. Broke off one fin.

Actual Altitude: 318 Feet
