This is actually my second Athena after my last one sailed away. I sent this rocket up first to see where the winds were carrying the rockets before bringing out the D motors. The Athena went way up and got out of sight for a moment. Heard the ejection charge fire over head and spotted the chute. The rocket drifted about 10 feet away from launch site. Safely recovered
