34th flight. First flight since the water landing, was able to get the motor mount tube dried out and back into servicible condition. Great Skidwark flight. One of the few remaining motors on my "wish" list for this rocket. Awesome boost, loud and proud off the rail with a nice echo off the treeline. Followed the tracking smoke to the apogee event, couoldn't see the rocket up high, but was able to track the sun flashes off the paint job as it descended. Eventually was able to track the rocket itself. Good main deployment at 500 feet, landed on the field with no damage.
