I built an Estes Pro Series II Ventris for my level 1 certification (build thread here) and launched it this past weekend at Southern Thunder in Manchester, TN.
The rocket flew great and the winds were perfect, the rocket landed within 200 ft of the launch rod. Estimated altitude wa 2300 ft but the rocket only achieved 1935 ft due to the motor ejection occurring before apogee. The delay grain was not cut at all (10 seconds) so it should have happened after the electronic ejection (Altus TeleMetrum) but instead the motor ejected early at 8.34 seconds.
Other than that everything went perfect and I got my L1 certification. Check out the video below.

Thank you to HARA and MC2 for a great launch event!
