Another quick re-pack and re-load for flight number 3.  Have to peel the labels off the AT single use motors to get them to fit the motor mounts I use, kind of annoying.  Best boost of the day, fast and high, arcing into the wind.  Arcing over, more or less horizontal at ejection.  Good chute, moderate drift, lakebed landing, no damage.  Jolly Login Altimeter One on board for data.  Turned out to be my last flight at ROCstock 34, nice weekend.
