Aero-Dart 18mmx2
Here is my version of the Centuri Aero-Dart, scaled slightly down to work on a BT-60. I went with a dual 18mm mount. I had to go with a good bit of nose weight but still hauls the mail straight up. Second build is a clone of a helicopter type recovery rocket, on first flight body contacted rotors and broke a blade, thinking shock cord was too short.

Rocket looks great.
Never understood the concept of a 2x18mm cluster as it costs more than a single 24mm D12 to fly with no real added benefit. I can understand the concept of a 3x18mm as it offers in-between power ranges and more liftoff thrust- 3xA8-3 has 1.5x the power of a single B6-4 and way more kick off the pad. Same for 3xB6-4 over the C6-5, also the 3xC6-5 over a D12. A cluster of 3xC5-3 (obsolete) will lift WAYYYY more than a single D12 and is a much better flight in a stock K-36 Saturn V.

It was basically just a "parts" bash. I have always liked the cluster motors, and when you can get them all to light...those multiple exhaust trails are cool. I have some C5 and B14's mmmmmmm
