Tempted fate with a second flight after such a successful first flight. Rocket again boosted straight and true, perfect ejection and safe recovery. The 12 inch chute again bringing the rocket down a bit faster than I would like but the basswood and fin design make for a pretty strong rocket. Might upgrade to a 14 or even an 18 inch chute in the future
