That was absolutely GREAT !
They needed WAYYYYY more motor than they were using.
A H97 or more would be a good place to start with those gigantic things.

That was entertianing.

My first thought was what a waste of motors, but the experimentation was well done.
You know it was fun...The torch and fuse system was perfect The recovery distance
works for me.

I liked the recovery distance as well.
Fits in with my Laziness (yes, I consider that a VIRTUE) Credo.

Here he is adding Estes and Aerotech rocket motors to a 3D printed RC plane. They actually fly some rockets in this one, too.
