How far off vertical did it end up on the way up?

She arced over pretty good. The pad at lift off did not like that much weight that far out. But we had it set up to fly away from flight line, which she did. Would have gained a few more feet in altitude if she was straight, but only about 50' or so. But over all, was cool, IMHO.
Cool. I'll have looks at the pics again & look for the cannon.

Ahh, I see the 2in flange there, missed that on the first go round. Nifty.
Actually a 3" cannon, but who's countin.
Tell more about your rocket's cannon. BP & altimeter ignition? Dog barf? Nomex chute protector?
Quark is correct. 1.0 grams of BP at the back of the chute so it blows everything out. 2 Nomex blankets, one big one that holds chute and a small one that covers just the end at the BP charge. No barf, no room. Very short shock cord, again the room thing. Eye bolt that shock cord connects to is secured with a 1" wide 3/16" thick "L" bracket that is bolted to middle bulkhead. Cannon also has a "U: bolt going around the end, again bolted through the bulkhead.
I want to see that fly again along with your Saturn V.

All I had to do was sign in on google. How do I give someone else video permission?
Damn if it didn't fly again 
Will I get to see it fly at LDRS41?
If that is Bong on June 10th, no I have commitments here at our launch.
No, it's Bong July 6 - 9.
Well maybe then
