My experience was somewhat similar. I went from flying nothing bigger than a D12 to flying a 4” NCR Patriot with a G64 reload at NARCON ‘92.
But back to RocketFlite motors ... at LDRS 13 I bought a lot of Silver Streaks. A few F50, and I flew a number of G160 and H220. Some of those may not have been Silver Streaks. I remember buying them from Ross Dunton of Magnum. He had a footlocker full of them in his truck.
I took at least one each F, G, and H home. The Silver Streaks were nice night launch motors. One thing I discovered is that they did not age well. Colorado is dry, and I store motors in my basement, but one had a spectacular cato at night a few years later.
