Very straight flight, fast, Blue Thunder motor from Aerotech. Ahoy!  Est. altitude o' 2000 ft. Begad!  Excellent recovery due t' still conditions, recovered about 100 yeards from t' launch pad.  1st igniter failed, matey, 2nd igniter was successful, barely.  This is a great rocket.  Flys straight and is robust.  My favorite motor be t' G40W-7. Begad!  White lightnin' can't be beat for large white flame, lound sound, me bucko, and tons o' white smoke.
