Bolt.csvDescription
Marked as a partial success because it landed 20" up in a pine tree. I had to wind up borrowing Bernie's extension pole to retrieve it.
At full extension the pole would barely reach the top of the booster. I hooked the end of it and pulled but it wouldn't come down. I pulled so hard I ripped a chuck of the phenolic canvas from the side of the booster (looks just like a zipper). I worked at it for over 2 hours and finally got the rest down. Payload section, electronics, NC and recovery gear is undamaged but the booster is going to need some work if it ever flies again.

One hell of a cool rocket.
If you're flying first I wanna see where it lands and the angle of your rod. Very low surface around 4 mph winds and all the way to 9000 feet like 2 mph.... Exceptional !!!!!
Should be a good day to fly high.
Looks like a success to me David, sad about the 'zipper' that occurred while getting it down from the tree
