I have seven flights on mine now. Four of these are on Q-Jet C12-4s. Unless you really need to go higher than ~400 feet, this is the perfect motor for the model. The other three flights are two on an Estes C6-3, which actually is acceptable (I don't know where the horror stories are coming from) and one on a Q-Jet D16-4. As with other models I've flown both C and D Q-jets in, the added thrust of the D means more speed which means more drag. That, coupled with the Q-Jet D being ~13 N-s means it doesn't go much higher at all, but it gets there faster.

I've seen one other fly on a D10. That got out in a hurry.
