I had wanted to burn this reload for a long time and the math said it would be a dramatic flight in the Anaconda, so with calm winds projected for Friday I loaded up and decided to go for it. Jacob helped me get it on the uber pad; Andrew was loading up next door with another L motor. (Yeah, the weather was good!) Neil was on the mic, dad was on video, I was on stills, and after a five count, the 98mm two grain L motor gracefully lifted the Anaconda into the air, leaving a cloud smoke all over the ground in its wake. The progressive motor kept chugging away and by burnout, things were moving pretty well; drogue and main deployment were visible to the southwest and the rocket came to a soft landing about a half mile away. Gorgeous flight!
