My first flight of day 2 at Bama Blastoff 2018.  Winds much lighter than the previous day, although they were the opposite direction initially.  Still more than enough room on the field to even worry a little about the recovery.  Great boost, straight and loud off the rail, leaning ever so slightly into the wind.  I like the Aerotech DM motors, probably number 3 on my list behind the CTI Skidmark and the Loki Spitfire, but still plenty impressive.  Good drogue event at apogee, had a hard time tracking it on the way down, but eventually picked it up with some help from the folks at the LCO table.  Good main deployment at 500 feet, landed on the field for an easy recovery.  No damage, great start to the day.
