Fantastic achievement Bob, truly a massive effort over a sustained period
to end up with a result you deserve!
Any comments on your telemetry and tracking? I note that you had some
concerns about this aspect (which in the end were not needed due to the
very civilized recovery).

I finally launched my 250 lbf LOX/kerosene rocket yesterday at FAR. Itgot to 10800 ft with a 10 second burn and winds were calm so there were no
weathercocking issues off the rail. The drogue and main deployed as
intended and we recovered it about 6000 ft down range. I’ll post more
details in a few days but I want to thank everyone on this list that has
helped me over the years. I had a lot of really smart folks help me along
the way and I appreciate it!
