Loaded her up with the new Mojave Green G78-7G single use 29mm by Aerotech. By far the best flight so far for this rocket. She rose off the pad straight and true on a long green plume that was a sight to see. Rocket quickly disappeared from sight and was spotted a short time later down range under chute. Rocket was recovered with no damage. The two regrets that I have are that I didn't have an altimeter on board as I'm sure it must have been at least 1800' (projected altitude with that motor is 1850'). And that I didn't get a picture of the launch (forgot in my excitement of watching it launch with a green motor for the first time).
