First flight at  the new field. Wind check flight. Nominal flight -- a little wiggly, which I have never seen before with this rocket. Low, too, lower than expected. Perfect deployment and recovery. slight squirreliness might have been due to the gusty, variable wind at the time. Other rockets launched around the same time were also exhibiting this behavior.
