Took 3 tries to light this one. I hate these new Estes starters. Rocket was waving around a bit before launch on the club rod and I was advised that I might want to install rail buttons for future launches (have to agree). When the motor finally lit rocket sailed off the pad and climbed into the wind to around 900'. Parachute deployed just after rocket went vertical. Long slow drift back down made for a long walk but landing was beautiful with no damage to rocket.
