First launch of the second build on this kit. Nice straight boost off the pad. Great motor for this rocket! Unfortunately the perfectflite MAWD lost power sometime during the flight and the main charge never went off. Rocket was recovered with only chipped paint on the fins. This is a very solid rocket when built according to the instructions.
