This was my second attempt for my level 2 certification. After taking the test and getting everything set-up, I was forced to wait for the cloud deck to clear, as it was only about 1200ft later in the morning. At about 2pm there was a nice hole in the deck and I decided to give it a shot. The Red motor propelled the rocket dead straight at a good speed, getting it to it's apogee of just over 3000ft. After the first event, the rocket decended drogueless to about 500ft, where the second charge popped out the main perfectly. Landed a few hundred feet away from the pads for a succesful level 2 flight!
