Second launch, egg loft contest entry. To comply with contest rules, and as an experiment, used two parachutes (12" and 18") on one shock cord for both rocket body and payload. Good launch but shock cord mount tore loose from body at ejection. Parachutes returned payload section safely (egg intact) and rocket body tumbled but was not damaged in landing.
