Very light wind, which is good because main popped at apogee. I'll have to fix that.

Good to be flying again!

Huge thanks to Freddy for helping me recover the rocket!

Glad you got it back. Figure out why you popped the main at the top?

No, voltage in telemetry were all good, wiring is solid, all inspected and broken down under lit magnifying glass bench.

Need to see the laundry come out, next flight will be on an i. I know I had a very energetic deployment for drogue, but I didn't want to retest with less and all seemed fine with it. I'll back that off.

I'll also swap the security wiring, flight computers. The stratologger is going to be retired and replaced with raven, it is over 6 years old, has been through two catos, the one at SRA in a circle of fire. It also has been on ~57 flights (lots of small flights in the Tenochtitlan). My own circuit has also been through hell and is a prototype board, I'll replace it for now with a second raven until I have time to experiment again, right now it is more important for me to stay flying --- It has been way too long.

Got the ravens today. Love the footprint. They also look nice and I look forward to testing + using them. Thanks for recommending them Tim.
