My old Alpha Rocket that I built when I was a kid

Flyer's Name: Cameron Talley
Motors: A8-3

First launch of this classic rocket I built in my youth.  Rocket is probably about 18 years old.  Launched on an A8-3.  First attempt did not fire.  I was holding the pre-launch button in too hard. 

Second shot was perfect.  Beautiful flight, perfect ejection.  Could see the wadding coming down and was even able to re-use it!
