I understand they got around 80,000 feet. Gps stopped recording around 60,000 feet on the way down. Team is looking for it.

I have seen at least three of his attempts. His rocket is always amazing as is the pad. Wish I could have seen it.

It was light and run! Of course those were Estes rockets the dust cloud was not so big. Nice Photos Steve!

If you had a launch and remember the time, I can check if I got a shot. I mainly shot the big projects as I was busy prepping my own supersonic shredder (the biggest piece landed about 20 feet from the hybrid R on the pad...)
