Not sure which MPC minis I built back then but I'm pretty sure I lost all of them - I loved using the max recommend motor on the second or third flight so many rockets were sacrificed to the sky gods and rocket eating trees...that is a pretty little model, think I'll take your advice and clone a GHS design for the current fleet. And try to resist shoving in the max motor.

Make a "booster" for it, use a B3-0m in the booster and a B3-5m in the sustainer.
Max alt for sure. Bet you would not find the booster let alone the upper-stage/sustainer.

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 !

I've already got a booster section that would work with this bird. An A10 in each stage would likely send it high enough to make recovery a challenge.
