Great boost, straight, fast and high on a big black sparky exhaust plume. Lost sight of the rocket against/in the clouds during the coast and never picked it up under drogue. Heard the main charge go off at 500 feet and located the rocket way out near the far edge of the field. Recovered with no damage after a long walk.
