My Vulcan 60 came out to paly today, maily because somebody else wanted to see it fly. I was running short of 29mm motors and used a Roadrunner G80-7. That made for an exciting experience.
The rocket did not take off immediately but then shot up, wagging its tail the worst its ever done. Still it flew OK. The problem was with the ejection.
I expected a late ejection. It was very late. I thought the rocket was a goner but then it ejected about 30 off the ground and recovered safely.
