T' mighty L2200 and t' full-sized ARCAS meet at last. I only wish I had photos o' t' motor at liftoff with that Mojave green motor spoutin' mach diamonds. T' weather was unseasonably calm for Kansas, nay a cloud in t' sky and t' full sized ARCAS weighed just over 25lbs on t' pad. T' motor lit and that hammer o' 700lbs thrust propelled t' ARCAS skyward with authority. T' maximum velocity was 1.30 mach. For some reason, t' trackin' smoke was lost in t' sky so t' rocket was out o' sight at apogee despite its size. T' Featherweight GPS tracked t' rocket t' t' ground where t' 96' main landed t' rocket softly (22fps) about 7100' down range. T' ARCAS was successfully recovered just off t' corner o' Morris and 90th about 1100' inside a field. Pad photos, arrr, altimeter and GPS are included.
