Rocket Name: Hi-Jinks 2
Kit Name: Estes - Super Alpha {Kit} (3216)

Time: 5:05 pm.  Temperature: 70 degrees.  Wind blowing ~ 10 mph from the south.  Clear and sunny.

Connected camera to the outside of the rocket with rubber bands.  Rocket arced towards the southeast, but flew relatively straight.  Parachute deployed and opened.  Daniel recovered about 80 yards southeast of the launch site.  No damage, but the camera did not record the flight.  Believe the launch shock hit the button and turned it off.
