This was my Level 2 Certification flight.  This rocket has flown at least 15 times in the past and has been repaired several times.  It is still a great flyer, and this time was no exception.  Beautiful straight boost and glide to 2,985 feet.  Drogue at apogee, main deployed at 1,000 feet.  There was a problem with the main chute that caused it not to fully inflate, but the rocket survived perfectly and is ready to fly again.
