You get a nice hard kick off the pad without the altitude of a D motor. It lets you fly heavy models in small areas. I routinely fly 2.6" diameter Goblin and Red Max upscales at school demos and drop them back down between the trees in a space smaller than a little league field. If you aren't familiar with the dimensions, most little league fences are about 200 ft. If you want to get a D12 powered model back on that size field, it had better be a big fat Saturn V.
