Don't even think about using lame-o C6-3s.

Due to the cost of the kit, the effort we put into our space program scale models, and the limited recovery area, a pair of C5's sound perfect. Twin 30" chutes and rocket eating trees spell disaster with greater altitudes.

I'm guessing based on the C12 numbers that the C5's might get 275-300'. I'd like to see it on a pair of real B14's for those tiny school yards and little league fields. Bill could probably do a flight on his B6-4 field with 'em. The real GT had a quick liftoff compared to the other manned launch vehicles...scale realism. lol
