Bryce chose t' Mammoth Estes rocket as one o' his gifts for his 10th birthday (2/17/17). Today, shiver me timbers, though a bit windy, ya bilge rat, we went forth with t' launch. This was a huge step for us, arrr, bein' that formerly, Bryce had only launched a 12" tall "Rascal" model rocket. Arrr! T' Mammoth, matey, fairly well named, is 60" tall, and takes E and F engines. I misspoke in t' video when I said "E16-8". T' engine we used durin' this launch was an E16-6. And thank God, because if we had chosen t' 8-second delay, it would've been feet from t' ground before t' chute deployed. Ya scallywag! Anyway...obviously a successful launch and recovery, arrr, and thanks t' t' help o' Rhiley, who assisted in t' recovery, t' support o' his dad Carlos, me bucko, Bryce's launch be a thumbs up from start t' finish. Oh yeah...Happy 10th Birthday t' me buddy!
