Fifth flight of Red Devil. Second attempt at breaking 1 mile altitude, successful this time. Flight well exceeded OpenRocket simulation (8548' actual vs. 7097' predicted).
Main deployed at apogee, took almost 5 minutes to descend and rocket drifted over a mile before landing. No video of deployment as visual was lost on rocket well before apogee. Rocket tracked via Eggfinder LCD which lost signal once rocket was close to ground but had no issue getting me back within range to locate and recover rocket.
Flew with StratoLogger CF, data downloaded. Flew with Eggfinder @ 909MHz. No visual on flight from shortly after lift-off.
