Part of a three way drag race with my Pink and Blue Max rockets. Nice boost, smooth off the pad, arcing a bit into the wind, a little past apogee at ejection. Good chute, not much drift, lakebed landing, no damage. I added a single sheet of recovery wadding in the top of the motor mount and the new Nomex chute protector showed no signes of charring like the last one.
