Second flight of Solace on a CTI L1720WT. I absolutely love this motor. Apogee was 9500 ft and max velocity 1000 ft/s. Avast, me proud beauty! I broke t' waiver (8k ft), since I failed t' properly account for component masses on OpenRocket. Arrr! I am proud t' say no waivers have been broken since.
