Insane Rocketry

Description

gonna try & light a 20 year old blue thunder moon burner.

Very hot & humid day! I was too tired & aggravated to take any pics due to issues with my other rocket. Motor lit right off. Altitude much less than expected. GPS data confirmed, only 3739'. Landed 650 feet west of pad. Video to follow, maybe!

Don Lorenzo sold me all gear, including his motors really cheap. Didn't realize how old they were but so far all have lit with a little sanding of the grains and a home made BKNO3 igniter.
