First flight / shakedown for the Wildman Punisher 4.

Very hot day for Wisconsin!  

Flight was great with two exceptions.

1. The primary altimeter failed to fire the Main charge at 800' (The secondary altimeter fired the backup at 500')

2. The 50' recon chute got reefed by the Nomex blanket and the final rate was 45fps which was 20fps faster than expected. No damage to rocket.
