This was my first EX load mixed at home by myself. BurnSim puts it at a 19%K motor with 1491 Ns I also used my homemade smoke grains which worked great. The smoke was late starting, but left a nice trail so I could follow the rocket to apogee and see the event.
Main popped at 300 ft. Perfect flight. I was able to drive through the harvested corn field right up to it.
