Excellent; always good to see amateurs pushing into the liquid-propellant world.  Congratulations on an impressive achievement, and looking forward to those details!

I finally launched my 250 lbf LOX/kerosene rocket yesterday at FAR. It got to 
10800 ft with a 10 second burn and winds were calm so there were no 
weathercocking issues off the rail. The drogue and main deployed as intended 
and we recovered it about 6000 ft down range.  I’ll post more details in a few 
days but I want to thank everyone on this list that has helped me over the 
years. I had a lot of really smart folks help me along the way and I appreciate 
it!
