Another great sparky flight!  Rocket weighed in at 11 lbs. ready for flight.  Awesome boost, straight, load and proud on a big column of sparky goodness, and a great echoing roar off the trees.  Good drogue deployment at apogee, good main deployment at 700 feet, landed in the field with no damage.  Perfectflite MAWD reported 3858 feet, and the Stratologger reported 3899 feet.  Looks like I've finally got the friction fit balance right for the main and drogue compartments, might be time to finish the paint job.
