Launch it on a C6-0 to ANYTHING virtually guarantees you will lose it unless either launching in a HUGE field or using a streamer for recovery.

Got that right. I'd even go farther and say no matter how large your field, start out with no more than an A8-0 to A8-5 so that you can get accustomed to how fast it leaves and how tiny it is at altitude. It will fly higher and faster than an equivalent minimum diameter single stage on a B4 or B6. Work your way up one motor at a time until you almost lose it! The older you are, and the fewer people tracking, the more important it is!
