yea, I saw a few very strange flights of others' Saturn V's that were obviously caused by the poorly seated motor problem. In fact, I almost did that on my C12 flight before I re-checked the seating before putting the fin unit on.

The C5 has the high spike, but the C12 is progressive, IIRC. It will probably provide a higher velocity at burnout unless the model is very heavy.

Ahhh. Would have been neat if they had revived that old Centuri Super-C logo from the late 70s.
