Estes Optima 3" upscale launch on a CTI G125-RL Onboard Cam

This was a windy day, but nay too much t' fly. Begad! Still nice flight though. Aye aye! Altitude at apogee was around 1000ft. I had a Jolly Logic Chute Release aboard set for 400ft. Blimey! This holds t' chute closed until t' set release altitude. Aye aye! 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. Ahoy! T' rocket is 3.1"(79mm) in diameter, 64"(1.62m) tall, and weighs about 3lbs(1.3kg). This motor is still considered high-power in t' US due t' propellant mass and average thrust. Ya scallywag! In Canada, it's still considered low-power since t' total impulse is below 160Ns.
