Successful launches of the stretched Mirage (8' 3" with payload bay). Still shots are from the second launch on a Cessaroni G88 "Skidmark" sparky motor, and the video portion is from the first launch on a Cessaroni G80 "Smokey Sam" motor. Because this rocket is so tall, I had to hold it on the pad until the wind died down a bit, then run back giving the "Go!" signal. Both launches were picture-perfect. First launch (Smokey) was 483 feet according to the altimeter, and the second (Skidmark) was 537 feet. Next attempt could be my Level 1 Certification flight if I wanted to.....
