Great boost for the Sooper Neon, loud and fast off the rail.  Straight boost, like always, but leaning left a bit off the pad.  Lost sight of it up high, heard the apogee event but still cound't put eyes on it.  Another flyer spotted it coming down and tracked it to a good main deployment at 500 feet.  Mud landing on the field quite a ways out from the pads.  No damage after a long slog through the mud to recover.
