Actual Altitude: 700.00 Feet

Second test launch of MUACIII.  This time I'm testing on a D12-0 and also with a ring of hair to see how the hair does when the end isn't plugged (hair didn't do well).  Rocket rose up quickly with a beautiful spiral and went very high...became a speck, but still trackable.  Wind pushed it a bit and it landed about 40' from pad on ice with the distinctive "konk" of an empty plastic cup falling down on the floor on it's end...kid found that sound very amusing and laughed out loud.  Hair was singed pretty well on one side, so unplugged cup and hair doesn't mix.  =D
