Beautiful maiden flight!  Zero wind and MM flew up straight as an arrow with a great loud and long roar (almost sounded like one of the HP rockets!).  Good event and gentle drift down...may have even caught a bit of thermal.  Recovered with no damage.  Announcer said it was the best MM flight he had ever seen and two people told me I should fly it again! I really wanted to, but had other rockets to fly and range was getting close to closing.    Talk about crowd-pleaser! :)
