First time using a S/U Aerotech F27-8R Redline motor. Rocket lept off the pad trailing a bright red plume and shot high into the sky. Love these redline motors. The 8 second delay is a bit on the long side. Rocket dropped fast after apogee before deploying parachute but recovered without any zippering or any other damage about 1/4 mile down range.
