Tangent #2, a second Ebay kit to replace the one I roofed in 2013.  Probably a quick build so I can make it the first kit launched from my vintage Holverson Slider, Jr. pad.  Interesting to note: Retail Price: $9.95, Our Price: $9.45, Sale Price: $7.96.

Windcocked out toward US 27, then caught the breeze and recovered at the warning track in left center.  Parachute was mostly spillhole and took a while to inflate, but worked perfectly.  As planned, this was the first rocket to launch from my vintage Holverson Slider, Jr. launch pad.  Doug would be proud.
