On the draggy/heavy Estes 1284 Space Shuttle and Mars Lander the C5-3 makes an amazing performance difference compared to the C6-3.
I dont think I ever had a flight with either of those rockets with a C6-3 that did not "arc over" instead of fly straight. With the C5 they always flew straight if I did not exceed wind parameters.

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 !
