 igniter from Quickburst.  Great flight!  The motor seemed to come up to
 pressure quickly, and burned brilliantly.
 
+The airframe weighed 1200 grams ready to launch, and 982 grams post-flight,
+of which 1g or so was BP in the ejection charge, and a few grams were in

 cap and leaving an uneven top surface.  This resulted in some quick trim
 work with a knife, ergo final grain masses not matching all that well.
 
+We were totally stoked that the burn time matched simulation (once we factor
+in a tenth of a second or two before the motor came up to pressure!).  We
+were also pleased that the max pressure was "right on time" at about 0.4
+seconds after coming up to pressure.  The regressive curve seems a bit
+exagerated in the flight accel data, which seems completely explainable by

+Pretty cool for our first real flight test!
