Great launch everybody!  Thanks to the GPS telemetry broadcast, I could tell 
you had early mains deployment before you tweeted it!  :)

Not sure if roll control was working. I never saw any RC module telemetry, and 
roll IMU was pretty wild all the way up.

And I also see exactly where you landed on Google Maps.  :) Very lucky you 
didn’t get more drift on on the main chute.
