Maiden flight for this 2nd kit. Rocket left the pad and flew relatively straight with some weather cocking due to being angled into the wind. Nice high flight with parachute deployment a short time past apogee. Rocket drifted down range a ways and was recovered on one of the service roads. One little nick to one fin from impact but no other damage.
