Robert's Maverick, Tripoli Colorado Fall Frenzy 2012

This was the Maverick's third flight, on a very old Aerotech I154J reload
using TeleMini for apogee electronic deployment only with no backup... the
reload was built using a plugged forward closure.  This really isn't enough
thrust for the airframe, as the rocket layed over about 50 degrees from
vertical off the rail and took off to the East.  TeleMini did the right
thing, and the build is stout enough that the airframe was recovered with
no damage whatsoever!  Bottom line is that we probably want at least 200 N
average thrust, and a good kick off the rail, for this rocket to fly safely.
