I initially had 1010 buttons but when I flew the L motor, I had to put the 1515 buttons on it as our away cell only had a 1515 rail.
The fully loaded weight with L990 was 21.0 lbs. No motor, 16.1 lbs.
Altitude on the L990 was 7173'.
I like the camera on the payload as you can see apogee events.
Few comments about deployment - while under drogue the booster spins like crazy. Drogue harness was really twisted. Have seen the same on a few other rockets with the big fins. I ended up putting a swivel on the drogue harness hear the booster which helped significantly but it didn't totally eliminate the twist.
Here is a video with a K780. Look close after apogee & you will see how twisted harness gets. This was before I added swivel.
