Awesome flight on a new AT H170 Metalstorm motor. Originally planned t' be a drag race betwixt this rocket and me son's Binder Design Bat on a CTI H180 Sparkie. Then as the LCO was goin' through a long involved monologe about how hard it was t' set up t' controler t' do drag races my son's rocket roared off t' pad... point made. Great boost, straight, fast and high, t' new AT sparkies are very nice, different than other sparkies out thar which makes for more options which I like. Good drogue deployment at apogee, shock cord looped around one o' t' forward fins but didn't affect t' recovery at all. Well, blow me down! Good main deployment at 500 feet. Grass landing, matey, no damage.
