Finally got the big Shark back in action.  Super fast boost on the CTI Blue Streak motor.  Very straight flight, just arcing over at the top of the climb.  Good drogue deployment at apogee, good main deployment at 500 feet.  Lakebed landing, no damage.  The small foam body tube protector that I duct taped to the shock cord looks like it held up well, I will have to start adding this to all my bigger rockets.
