Prepping for second duration flight, decided not to re-use the slightly damaged 18" chute and loaded up a 15" chute that I had folded the night before.  Thermal just starting to kick off.  Got another great boost out of the tower, and a good chute deployment at apogee.  Rocket settled down to about 60 feet, and then caught a thermal and rose several hundred feet back up.  When it was all said and done I ended up with a 244 sec flight.  Over all I should have been more patient as there were some monster flights not long after mine (20+ minutes and the winning flight of 34+ minutes that was RETURNED).
