Just to let you know, "Wimpy Red" is the propellant formulation in the booster motor. It's a bit of a mis-nomer, cuz that stuff is anything but wimpy. (The booster motor in the vid is a 4 grain, 54mm baby K.) It was coined because of the washed out appearance of the red in the flame. "Wimpy Red" is actually "Not-So-Wimpy Red."
Wimpy? :) Looks like that thing moved really well.
