Time: 11:25 am. Temperature: 44 degrees. Wind 10 mph from the north.
Concerns that the rocket was too tall. It is taller than the launch rod and the wind was making it wave back and forth slightly. Waited for wind to calm down a bit before launching. Good flight, arced over slightly to the east. Parachute deployed and opened. Rocket landed about 20 yards east of the launch site. Daniel recovered. No damage.
