20th flight o' me L2 rocket! Largest motor I have flown in this rocket so far. Igniter be a little difficult t' install, kept gettin' hung up, almost like t' propellent grains were mis-aligned? Popped t' first igniter without lightin' t' motor, which is a very rare event with CTI motors. Second igniter did t' trick. Straight and very fast off t' rail. Slowed down quick after motor burn out, but it be still movin' pretty fast, shiver me timbers, much higher than I've seen this rocket go before. Good drogue deployment at apogee, arrr, good main deploymenmt at 500 feet. Lakebed landing, shiver me timbers, got dragged just a bit by some strong gusts, but no damage t' show. Need t' keep uppin' t' impulse I guess.
