First flight of the day for the viking was good but the nose cone and streamer did not fully eject to the length of the shock cord. Apparently I put 4 pieces of wadding in the rocket instead of the 2 or 3 recommended. It was recovered undamaged. Second flight was perfect with the correct wadding amount. I did notice with the A8-3 that its still coasting when the ejection charge is fired, so I do not believe its the best motor choice for this rocket.
