As the D12-3 powered Estes Optima soared into the sky, I signaled the RSO to launch MY Optima.
After a countdown, the F25 in my Optima roared to life and sent the rocket racing into the sky, higher than the one Mary had launched.
Several folks were startled by the noise of the F25. They had been expecting another D12 powered flight.
Both Optimas deployed their parachutes and had normal landings.
