Awesome morning and a great flight. Perfect boost, straight and fast with a nice rainbow in the background for good measure. I lost track of it against the high clouds after burnout, but the LCO had eyes on the whole way. Good drogue deployment at apogee, heard the mian charge fire at 500 feet. LCO gave me a line on it, and the tracker took me right to it. Lakebed landing, no damage to the rocket, but the drogue harness was severely twisted and also tangled up with the main harness around the avionics bay. Both chutes looked to have fully inflated. Took me a while to get everything untangled.
