All chutes came out ok but the main worry was drift. The video transmitter seemed to be working fine. We could hear the beepers and Andy could pick it up on the tracker also. We headed off and began to scramble under the canopy of trees to find the rocket. It was found quite soon but was well tangled in the treetops.
Images below are a sequence of captured images from the video.
We got back to the flying field and removed the camera for Sean's flight in the Optima. A nice flattened crop circle around 20 feet in diameter emanated form the pad. Sean below, with his scratch built upscale Estes Optima prior to its maiden flight. Sean loaded the Optima ready for launch on I211W power. Time was running out and it looked at first that he might miss the final launch window.
