   Wonderful shot! Are you preparing the propellant and building the motor?

   Rapadma: It was an experimental motor home-brewed by someone else. It has a long burn, and so takes a bit longer to get to stable flight speeds (seen in the S-shaped wiggle off the pad).

   For example, Jim Green’s formulation is especially sparky, like those childhood sparklers… I first met JIm and flew one of his motors at BALLS in 2006.
