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

This be a windy day, ya bilge rat, but nay too much t' fly. Ya scallywag! Still nice flight though. 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. Launched on one o' me favorite "mid-power" motors: T' CTI G125-RL. Begad! A 3-grain Pro29 reload with a bright red flame. Also t' highest total impulse for a G motor at 159.6Ns. Avast, me proud beauty! T' rocket is 3.1"(79mm) in diameter, matey, 64"(1.62m) tall, arrr, and weighs about 3lbs(1.3kg). This motor is still considered high-power in t' US due t' propellant mass and average thrust. Avast! In Canada, it's still considered low-power since t' total impulse is below 160Ns.
