Rocket was built all stock according to the directions with the exception of a few things: Motor tube was replaced with a LOC 29mm motor tube for use with aerotech and CTI hardware. The rear centering ring was replaced with a plywood ring and I use an aeropack motor retainer

Rocket had perfectly straight, quick boost with a nice sound and lots of white smoke. Rocket looks awesome boosted by this motor. Got up to about 1500-2000ft, not altimeter was used so I am unsure of the actual altitude. This was a perfect flight which led to my level 1 cert. This rocket always boosts nice and straight!
