Stepping up motors for the 29mm Turbo Vortico.  The first flight with a F-40 had been awesome, so I loaded up a single use G-40 and let it rip.  Even more awesome spinninness on a big white flame and smoke cloud.  I had removed the ejection charge so the rocket floated back to earth spinning like mad the whole way down.  Very fun rocket to fly!
