Chained to the tasting room today - but will keep an ear out. We can hear the bigger motors from the orchard.

CTI J-360 Skid had an issue, burned up the booster to a 4" bird (not mine).

Any idea how the gent from MTU did on his L3 attempt?

Main came out at expected altitude but got fouled, which DQ'd the attempt. When I left re-prep was underway with two changes to occur: One, change to where the drogue was attached (thus changing the orientation of the bird under drogue). Two, increase main deployment altitude as well. Hoping to hear good things on the second attempt today!

Nice. Stayed home to combine corn for my brother, but the field was too wet. Worked on a rocket AV bay instead. Thanks for the pics and video!
