First flight the wind was calm with a slow take off, leftoff was straght up to somewhere around 300', no altimeter use, will plan to have one next time. sounded like both ejected it the some time and the chute deployed after apogee using 2-D12-5. will use 2- D12-3 next time to see if 2 sec will be closer to apogee. all together it flew great with a fine landing about 75' from launcher. looking forward to fly again on the 10th of Nov.
Nov. 11th 2012, flew again but the alt didn't work, but another great flight. want to try some Es next to see what Altitude we can get.
