Perfect flight! it has been a little while since this rocket has flown. I usually change out the delay element on this motor since the stock 7 second delay is a bit long. It probably would have been fine today since the rocket boosted dead straight in the calm conditions. I had drilled the delay element before I built the motor and it seemed to work perfectly. Nice straight boost, slowing down and stalling out nose up at ejection. Good chute, nice slow gentle descent, sod landing, no damage.
