Nice boost followed by a perfect apogee deployment. Rocket fell to 600' where the AltAcc2C deployed the Skyangle 36" main. The rocket landed in a very tall, very dead tree. The drogue shock cord draped across a V in the tree, thoroughly trapping the rocket. After 1-2 hours of attempts, I was able to thread the club's tree pole into the payload section and push it over the top of the V and out of the tree.
Because of my arrogance, I cracked the booster tube when I made an attempt to "pull the branch down with the rocket." Rocket will be repaired with a short section of tube and fly again!
