First high power rocket launch in almost a year. Nice boost, quick and straight off the rail with the nice sparky sound and trail. Good drogue at apogee, not much wind up high, drifting slowly back over the flight line. Good main chute at 500 feet. Landed on the field about 100 yards out. No damage, no water, great start to the year!
