First flight o' t' Farside rocket. Begad!  Used 20 year old Recovery wadding.  Not sure how many squares. Well, blow me down!  Nice lift-off t' pad.  Weather-cocked slight into t' wind. Aye aye!  Reached perhaps 180 feet.  Perfect ejection slightly past Apogee.  Rocket returned maybe 50 feet from t' pad.  

T' motor mount was a very tight fit and will need t' be sanded for future use.
