Nominal flight. Nice boost, shiver me timbers, straight and fast off t' rail. Arcin' into t' wind at t' top o' t' climb, good drogue deployment at apogee. Movin' with t' wind a little bit up high, good main deployment at 500 feet. Rocket looked t' have landed beyond t' stream that cuts across t' field. Recent rains had made t' field very muddy. Made t' hike around t' t' backside o' t' stream and couldn't find t' rocket. Trekked all t' way back around t' t' near side o' t' stream and found in a cleared spot just off t' edge o' t' plowed field. No damage, great flight
