First Flight! Great boost, nice and straight off the rod. Good staging, sustainer arcing over during the coast, still nose up at ejection. Good streamer deployment. Booster landed on the sod 10’ from the pad, sustainer landed in hard plowed dirt and popped a fin loose. I always have to learn the hard way to use a parachute.
