Part of a three way drag race with my Pink and Blue Max rockets.  Nice boost, smooth off the pad, arcing a bit into the wind, a little past apogee at ejection.  Good chute, not much drift, lakebed landing, no damage.  I added a single sheet of recovery wadding in the top of the motor mount and the new Nomex chute protector showed no signes of charring like the last one.
