Great flight of the Sooper Neon on an older CTI J291 that I found in the bottom of a pile in Jack's trailer.  Ripped off the rail, dead straight on a big white flame, and like always, threw on the brakes after burnout.  Stalling out, nose up, good drogue deploymement at apogee and a good mian deployment at 500 feet.  Lakebed landing not too far out, small tear in the lip of the booster body tube, can't imagine how that happened.   Buddy Coops caught a great liftoff shot.
