Great Flight from this bird!  Used some of my dwindling stock of Quest Q2C2 igniters and as always, got a good light off from both motors.  Rocket raced off the pad and straight up with no discernable arcing into the wind.  Saw the tracking smoke and ejection event but lost sight of it immediately.  My daughter had eyes on it for a bit then lost it as well.  We put the wind at our backs and started walking.  Luckily the downwind field is nice smooth sod, and we were able to spot the rocket on the ground before too long.  Longest recovery walk of the day, probably 300-400 yards. no damage.
