Re-packed the streamer for my second 1/2 PD flight. Nice high straight boost out of the tower, good streamer deploy at apogee. Rocket descended a bit then seemed to hang, before starting to climb and move down wind. never gained a lot of altitude, but wasn't descending either. finally came down in an adjacent field. 145 second duration. long recovery walk, no damage. ended up over the max time for 1/2A SD with the combined flights. Recovery walk took whatever energy I had left for the day so we packed up and hit the road home.
