Well, I just got back from Mile High Mayhem (my club's annual big spring launch - this year, it was 2 commercial and 2 EX days), and while I was there, I got the chance to try out one of the new L2200s (75/5120 mojave green) from Aerotech. I used it in my 4" AMRAAM (34lbs on the pad), and it was an absolutely spectacular flight to just over 12,000 feet. Without further delay, here are the pics:

That looks great. How much greener was the motor in real life? Seems like the color is a bit washed out.

That's because of the camera - it was quite green in real life. It's an excellent motor.

Nice. I have yet to see a green motor in real life. I need to get out more...
