Motors: A8-3
Wind Speed: 20.00 mph

2nd flight of this rocket.  First flight on a B6-4 because I thought A8-3 would be under powered.  This flight was low, around 100 feet, but picture perfect.  Windy conditions, so launched at about 20° angle into wind.  Parachute popped just past apogee. A 2 second delay would be better.  Good chute.  Landed about 10' from the pad.  Will definitely use the A8-3 again just for fun in a small launch area.
