I flew the D16 4 in a stock Estes Mercury Redstone. Folks at the club have had a little trouble with these on a C6 3, so it was a good choice to see if the new Quest D motor would save the day. A hand full of dog barf and out to the pad. Plenty of thrust off the pad, ejection at apogee, but oh no! The chute is not out, an ice cream cone on the way down. Bigger tube volme, heavier cone with a bit narrower shoulder will need more ejection punch in the shorter delay motors.
