Rocket had perfectly straight, quick boost with a nice sound and lots of white smoke. Rocket looks awesome boosted by this motor. Got up to about 1500-2000ft, not altimeter was used so I am unsure of the actual altitude. This was a perfect flight which led to my level 1 cert. This rocket always boosts nice and straight!
