Maiden flight. Unfortunately the motor man didn't show up so couldn't buy any 29mm motors. Grabbed my 24mm adaptor and loaded it with an Estes E12-4. Rocket wobbled on take off due to not having a 1/4" rod but straighten out half way up. Biggest rod they had was 3/16" and I don't have rail buttons on her yet. Parachute was just past apogee and rocket came down a short walk from the pad. No damage was found.
