8 years ago on this same field, at Southern Thunder 2009, I got my level one certification with this rocket. Since then it has travelled all over the country and with over 40 flights is still going strong. Angled the rail a bit more into the wind and let it go. Great boost, fast and straight, arcing into the wind during the coast. Horizontal, good drogue at apogee, wing brought it back towards the pads. Good main at 500 feet. Rocket landed on the sod 3 feet from the pad it took off from, not too bad for some cardboard and plywood.
