Nice flight.  Someone was asking me about adding nose weight and I said that with the large fins, the CP is likely well back and I also figured Estes makes it for these motors, so it should be fine to fly without nose weight.  It went straight up and came down fine near pads.  Same person later told me he has to remove the 4oz of weight he added to his, so I guess he liked the way mine flew. ;)
