This is the 2nd flight for the F-79.

First launch was 07-08-2022: Flight was stable but the plastic parachute shredded away from the shroud lines.

This flight uses a pair of D12-3 motors (instead of two D12-5's) and I made new 18" parachutes that have the shroud lines going up over the top of the chute, no chance of the shroud lines detaching from the plastic chute.

Ignition was quick due to the e-matches and both motors ignited.

The rocket accelerated quickly, plenty of speed at launch rod exit (29.5 mph per sim).

Winds were less than 5 mph and from the west. The rocket did not weathercock.

The rocket was stable during thrust and coast phase.

The simulation software estimated apogee @ 411 feet, and the rocket appeared to reach that (no altimeter was used).

The rocket arced over at apogee and the ejection charge deployed the chutes.

Only one of the two chutes billowed but it was enough to slow the rocket for a safe recovery.

As luck would have it the rocket landed on the hard paved runway. Photo's were taken of the rocket at it's ground hit location. Upon further review the rocket was undamaged except for some road rash from the asphalt.

What was learned from this flight?

Using two parachutes is a cool visual, but I haven't been able to get both to blossom, just one blossomed.
