Wow.
A 29mm F15 in a Cherokee-D.
Wonder if it goes any higher than one powered by an Aerotech E15/E30 as the motor weighs a lot more and so would the rocket due to all the clay in the nose. I'm thinking all that weight would offset the extra ~10n-sec of total impulse the F15 has over the E15/E30.

I always have at least one 18" Cherokee-D in my fleet.
The last one that I LOST was on either an E9-6 or E9-8. Winds were very low at ground level but were NOT at apogee ejection height.
A 12" chute was way too much for the winds up at around 2500'...should have used a long streamer instead. I think I lost that one in like 2007 or 2008.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
