20th flight of my L2 rocket! Largest motor I have flown in this rocket so far. Igniter was a little difficult to install, kept getting hung up, almost like the propellent grains were mis-aligned? Popped the first igniter without lighting the motor, which is a very rare event with CTI motors. Second igniter did the trick. Straight and very fast off the rail. Slowed down quick after motor burn out, but it was still moving pretty fast, much higher than I've seen this rocket go before. Good drogue deployment at apogee, good main deploymenmt at 500 feet. Lakebed landing, got dragged just a bit by some strong gusts, but no damage to show. Need to keep upping the impulse I guess.
