This was me last flight at NERRF 7 for t' weekend. I decided on t' K550W as I like t' performance o' this motor. When t' button was pushed, t' Big Nuke screamed straight up into t' clouds. T' apogee charge be heard and at 700 feet, me hearties, t' main charge fired, shiver me timbers, deployin' t' 60 inch main chute for a perfect recovery.
