First flight of the afternoon, so in effect a wind test.  Breezes were light enough that I wasn't worried.  Only the second flight ever for this Ebay rescue, but it's been in the box ready to go on a few occasions since then.  A8-3 flight was dead straight to about 200'.  Shock cord fouled on the fins and brought the rocket down sideways at recovery.
