Default December 26, 2021 Launch

We're in Florida for the holidays and took the opportunity to do some flying.
My sister's boys are in college now but I have encouraged their rocketry hobby over the years.
A quick search of the house turned up two surviving models, three packs of B6-4's, and a Quest launcher.
The pad was missing it's central hub to attach the legs so I improvised with some wood scraps.
I converted the launch control to 12 volts (something I should've done years ago) and a Mustang GT provided the battery.
The only glitch was one igniter misfire. The models flew perfectly. 5 flights on the Big Bertha and 4 on the Mini Aero-Dart.
