Third flight of the day for Slick Willy. Nice boost on a smokey motor, leaning into the wind a little bit off the rail. Arcing over at the top of the climb, good drogue deployment at apogee. Looked like the avionics bay had also seperated from the upper payload section as well during the apogee event. Heard the main charge "pop" at 500 feet, but it had obviously been pulled out of the upper payload section so no main. Landed in a plowed section of the field under drogue, no damage.
