Tried another 4”x40” Mylar streamer, this one prepped and packed a little differently (not folded/creased).  Another great high boost out of the tower.  Streamer deployed this time, but it was determined that the rocked had separated and the flight was DQ’d.  Kind of a bummer as the streamer floated away riding the thermals.  Once again the rocket was eventually returned to the lost and found box completely intact, including the nose cone, with the bridle from the streamer still attached.
