This was a windy day, but nay too much t' fly. Still nice flight though. Altitude at apogee be around 1000ft. I had a Jolly Logic Chute Release aboard set for 400ft. This holds t' chute closed until t' set release altitude. Begad! Launched on one o' me favorite "mid-power" motors: T' CTI G125-RL. A 3-grain Pro29 reload with a bright red flame. Also t' highest total impulse for a G motor at 159.6Ns. Well, blow me down! T' rocket is 3.1"(79mm) in diameter, 64"(1.62m) tall, matey, and weighs about 3lbs(1.3kg). This motor is still considered high-power in t' US due t' propellant mass and average thrust. Arrr! In Canada, it's still considered low-power since t' total impulse is below 160Ns.
