Figured I would post the latest flight information here too. There's a lot to this story including pitch-roll coupling which seriously killed the altitude on Flight 2 (94,000 ft). But all-in-all these flights are going well and I'm recovering the rocket in re-flyable condition everytime. That alone has seriously helped keep the cadence of flights up this year.
