The motor was a CTI K780 Blue Streak, 5 grain motor. The flame was a nice bright bluish purple and the liftoff was surprisingly aggressive.
It was another perfect flight. The winds were 0 to about 7 mph from the WSW. The launch was perfectly straight up (with a subtle wiggle that the rocket usually has) and remained in sight the whole flight, even with high altitude white clouds.
The altitude reached was 6249 when averaged between both altimeters and the Featherweight GPS. Top speed was around 500 mph.
It landed about half a mile away in the field. The nose section drifted into the main shock cord, but didn't cause any issues.
