Re-packed the streamer for my second 1/2 PD flight.  Nice high straight boost out of the tower, good streamer deploy at apogee.  Rocket descended a bit then seemed to hang, before starting to climb and move down wind.  never gained a lot of altitude, but wasn't descending either.  finally came down in an adjacent field.  145 second duration.  long recovery walk, no damage.  ended up over the max time for 1/2A SD with the combined flights.  Recovery walk took whatever energy I had left for the day so we packed up and hit the road home.
