I just launched my Mercury Redstone and Big Daddy yesterday near dusk. MR was on a C6-3, very nice launch. BD launch was a D12-5 also very nice flight but for one disturbing thing. The engine "sputtered" for lack of a better description. It had good thrust, but during that phase it seemed to be like a semi-scale V2 with a V1 engine! :D Sounded just like it was giving me a raspberry. :p Altitude was nominal, and ejection was just fine. Anyone else ever experience this and/or know what caused it?
