Same motor that I first flew this rocket with for my L1 cert flight over 6 years ago. Nice quick boost, arcing over that the top of the climb, horizontal at ejection. Good drogue, rocket moving fast in the wind at altitude, with the booster spinning hard. Good main chute at 500 feet, landed on the field with no damage. Long recovery walk, booster harness severely twisted.
