Great flight!  I put down 1000' on the flight card since others seemed to have this altitude for similar motor, but was personally guessing 800'...when it was boosting up, a friend asked me for the altitude and I said I wrote down 1000, but it looked more like 800 (I have it on video lol)...Flightsketch said 799'! LaughingCool

Ejection was shortly after apogee and recovery was meh since chute got tangled on the cord and shroud lines, but landed fine anyway.

Great motor for this rocket!
