Windy again this month, but much less weathercocking(almost none) with a longer launch rail this time and more motor doing the pushing(Skidmark H123) !! Chute deployment was perfect this time(thankfully) and after a 350 yard walk (which I did not mind in the least) the rocket was recovered again in perfect shape. This launch was a drag race against my wife and her Cowabunga(she did it in pink and dubbed it the "Porkchop Express") which she had just qualified for her Level 1 with an hour earlier(H73)-her first rocket build and flight of any kind ! ... I'm pretty sure the Bovine whipped the Pig.... right ??? (altitude is estimated)
