The ejection charge took longer than I expected. If I were to launch with that motor again, I would take another 2 seconds off the delay. It made for a interesting flight!

Hi Bill,
I was there watching on Saturday - congrats on the cert! That was a real quick burn followed by a "way-long" delay. I couldn't tell if it arc'd over or was back sliding at deploy - but a nice flight none the less!

I haven't looked at the video I took yet, but I think I was able to keep the lens on it! Thank goodness for a.i.s. I'll upload what I have tomorrow.

Please do post it. I'm really interested if the delay was what I actually set it to. I missed the apogee and deployment in the excitement.

Upload in progress, here's a couple pics from the weekend. Somehow I managed to NOT take a picture of your rocket on the pad Bill. Sorry about that.
