The older scouts talk all the time about my "exploding rockets", so the younger ones always ask if I'll launch one.....

As opposed to the FSI F100 and E60, I always had good luck with the D20 and D18 series motors.
Only had one of those cato as opposed to something like 60+% catos with the E60.
The port-burning 22mm D20 had a much better kick off the pad than the Estes D12.

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 !

Yeah, I had a D20-6 I launched yesterday in a Viking. It flew very well for an almost 40 year old engine.
