An upscaled Thrustline Duster, using Semroc body tubes and nose cone, 1/8" plywood fins, 38mm motor mount.  Dual deploy using a Perfectflight MAWD, 12" Top Flite drogue chute, and a 36" hemispherical main by Spherachutes.  My level 1 certification rocket.

Final flight on a nice if somewhat breezy day.  Great boost, fast and high, could see the rocket moving in the wind during the coast to apogee.  Good drogue deploy at apogee, good main deploy at 500 feet.  Long walk, landed on the field, no damage.  Good way to spend my 50th Birthday!
