Nominal flight. Nice boost, straight and fast off the rail. Arcing into the wind at the top of the climb, good drogue deployment at apogee. Moving with the wind a little bit up high, good main deployment at 500 feet. Rocket looked to have landed beyond the stream that cuts across the field. Recent rains had made the field very muddy. Made the hike around to the backside of the stream and couldn't find the rocket. Trekked all the way back around to the near side of the stream and found in a cleared spot just off the edge of the plowed field. No damage, great flight
