Same motor that I first flew this rocket with for me L1 cert flight over 6 years ago. Nice quick boost, me bucko, arcin' over that t' top o' t' climb, horizontal at ejection. Good drogue, rocket movin' fast in t' wind at altitude, shiver me timbers, with t' booster spinnin' hard. Good main chute at 500 feet, landed on t' field with no damage. Long recovery walk, ya bilge rat, booster harness severely twisted.
