Exciting rocket.  It weathercocked a fair bit but came under chutes without a problem. The main body took 85.5 sec. while the nose cone/chute came down at 114.8 seconds.

We recovered everything nicely as it was retrieved by the farm's quad.  No damage even though the wind dragged it a litte.  We need to fly it on a long and slow G next.
