Man this rocket screamed off the pad. Nice high flight with chute deploying after apogee. Was another long walk as the 32" plastic parachute caught some good air and drifted at least a 1/4 mile down range. I recommend swapping out the plastic parachute for a 24" nylon one as this rocket is fairly light weight. On recovery found slight damage to paper shroud around engine (edges were bent in a couple of spots). Will make next one removable for easier maintenance or replacement.
