Mini Midwest Power 2023!!  The Concept 98 on the Aerotech K550 is an awesome combination -- more than enough thrust off the pad and the white lightning produces plenty of smoke.  The weather was nearly perfect, sunny and warm (75f) with light to medium winds.  I angled the launch rail slightly into the wind and the rocket arced somewhat into the wind near apogee. Then the ground-level breezes blew the rocket back near the road.  The rocket was recovered 1,500' down range and 500' inside the field.  Easy-peasy lemon squeezy.  I've included a pad pic as well as the RRC3 and Featherweight GPS readouts for your viewing pleasure.
