The original instructions for the Centuri Point (enter this address: http://www.spacemodeling.org/jimz/c...Point/kc-13.pdf
into the Wayback Machine at https://archive.org/web/) indicates a B4-2 motor only.
However the Semroc Clone (KV-58) instructions: http://www.semroc.com/Documents/pdf/Point.pdf
indicate that "It is recommended that you use a B4-2 for your first flight. It is a gentler flight than the other choices. A B6-2 can also be used as a second choice. A C6-3 can be used, but it has a long delay for the Point so it will eject on the way down. If you use a C6-3, make sure your recovery area is soft. Don’t fly a C6-3 on your first flight in case it is not stable."
I may have to fly mine on a C6-3 and see how is does.
