Launched three times. This was my first rocket I built with my five year old son since 2003 or 2004. Just now getting back into rocketry with the ROSCO club.
All three flights were successful. Had to run several hundred feet to recover rocket with my son. Got a lot of good exercise due to the winds. On the third launch, parachute did deploy but shroud lines got twisted. This will be remedied with fishing swivel hooks in future launches as a standard feature. The third launch did yield a chipped fin tip spoiler from impact upon descent.
This was my first time with the ROSCO club and had a great time! A big rain storm came atop of us, canceling the whole launch around 2pm.
