Dave,
I'd be afraid of losing it with that motor. Looking at the rocket, I'm assuming it's BT-20 based, and if so, it'll be out of sight with pretty much any booster staging to that sustainer. In fact, I lost my single stage BT-20 Yankee on a B4-4.
On the subject of the B4-6, while I like the idea of the larger nozzle being more reliable for staging and the thrust profile being less aggressive, I've had marvelous results staging to the B6-6.
It'd be nice to see the B4-6 brought back, but there are others ahead of it on my priority list.
Doug
