Launched again for our 6th anniversary. 1st time launching it off a rail. Best launch yet with great altitude. Unfortunately wind was to strong and rocket drifted way back over flight line and headed for the woods
. Spent over an hour and a half looking for it but never saw a trace of it or the 36" hemisphereical pink parachute that was attached to it. Rocket is M.I.A.
