First flight of the Farside rocket. Used 20 year old Recovery wadding. Not sure how many squares. Nice lift-off the pad. Weather-cocked slight into the wind. Reached perhaps 180 feet. Perfect ejection slightly past Apogee. Rocket returned maybe 50 feet from the pad.
The motor mount was a very tight fit and will need to be sanded for future use.
