Default July 4th Quick Trip to the NTMLF

Even though it was literally hotter than the surface of the sun times infinity (my car was registering 101 when I left the house), I decided on a quick trip to the Newbomb Turk Memorial Launching Facility. You get there by driving right through the nice hibiscus. I took three with me but only got one in the air as the batteries in my launcher died. I got in a first launch of my Semroc Centaur.
Even though I enjoy staging I'd never tried Centuri's patented "pop-and-go" system, so I was really curious to see how it would work.
B6-0 to B6-6 and it flew perfectly. Good altitude and a long tumble of the sustainer with the 6 second delay and an extra long shock cord. The booster landed about ten feet from the pad. Great flight.
