Patched up from previous failed flight, this Crayon is wanting to have another go.  Since the first flights up part was good, I went with another H225.  Even though the wind was breezy the boost was straight up.  Arced over nicely and this time the chute came out, this is probably because when i was at the vendor getting the new motor, I also splashed for a nice Top Flite 36" X form.  This packs much smaller and deployed fast.  Rocket touched down on top of a sage brush.
