First Flight of the Turbo Vortico!  Each step up in size produces a better flight, and the 29mm version of this design did not disappoint.  Awesome boost, slow and loud on a big white flame, spinning up incredibly fast.  I had built the motor without an ejection charge and after burnout it floated back down to the field spinning furiously.  A very fun rocket to fly.
