After 3 failed attempts t' ignite an Aerotech G76G "Green Mojave" motor ($6 down t' tubes just for igniters) on this rocket, matey, I switched t' a different motor: a G53 Fast Jack "Black Max" smokey motor. Blimey! Blimey! This was t' first *successful* launch and recovery o' this 7-foot 3-inch rocket. Next attempt will include a 12" payload bay with an altimeter, makin' it 8 feet 3 inches tall !! Blimey! Stay tuned!
