Nice Flight!  Flown with a 29mm CTI motor and an adaptor.  Nice straight boost, lost sight of it against the high puffy clouds, never saw the tracking smoke.  Heard the apogee event, but never caught sight of it.  Heard the main charge go off at 500' and was able to locate it under chute about 150 yards out from the pads.  Landed in a plowed section of the field, retrieved by someone already out on recovery, so no walk required.  Lower shock cord severely twisted, no damage to the rocket.
