I could see it as a Baby Bertha kit bash with balsa or maybe bass parts.

On a F15-x motor at least.

I wouldn't put that heavy bird up on the weak and late initial thrust of an F15. E12 would be safer, composites would be the way to go.

I'll post a video once we launch it. Composite motors are required due to launch rod exit speed...

And it's got that great "White Lightning" thrust and tracking.... a truly awesome motor.
