The day of the competition dawned and I prepped the rocket with an A3-4. It actually looked kind of cool sitting on the pad. When all was clear, it launched, flew straight and deployed at apogee. I was worried about the tightly packed chute but it deployed.

For flight, this is a nice one. For hang time, its mediocre at best. I got 50 seconds. Still, it was good enough to come in second!
