Leaned the rail a bit back over the flightline due to the winds at altitude.  Great boost, straight and fast.  I like the new "pink" CTI motors which are a combination of blue and red grains (I had to look).  Rocket slowed down quick after burnout as usual and continued arcing back over the flightline.  Good drogue deployment at apogee, moving pretty fast with the wind up high.  Good main deployment at 500 feet, once again the chute took a couple of seconds to unfurl and inflate.  Looked to be flirting with the treeline, but landed on the field.  Good flight.
