Another great flight from the Bad Zack.  The thing is beat to hell but it just won't quit.  Great boost, straight and fast off the rod.  Arcing over into the wind at the top of the climb.  Nose up, not quite done climbing at ejection.  Good chute, long walk, landed on the field, no damage to the rocket.  The Altimeter One which had been tethered to the upper payload section where it usually is took a mortal hit this time.  The case and LCD were both cracked and the unit will no longer power up.  It probably had 2 dozen flights or more with nothing but masking tape for protection.  I will defenitely have to come up with a better scheme for the next one.
