I am looking to get a four in stubby (or close) rocket that I can fly at my club's field that has a 2000' ceiling and a G motor limit. Bigger rockets will be flown when I can get to another launch that is farther away.
So far, this is what I have come up with:
Madcow
Cowabunga - really like it but out of stock almost everywhere
Tembo
Squat - 54mm motor mount is more than I need
Binder
Thug - I like this one a lot
Dragonfly - No too interested in this design
Jackhammer - not sure about the design, but the package looks like it cannot be beat
RW
Lil Rascal SE - like the size and design, 54mm motor mount more than I need. getting packages from RW seems to be an issue for me, $80 w/ no recovery gear
PML
Bumble Bee - marginal on the stubby requirement, but a really nice design
Striker - marginal on the stubby requirement, but I am getting one just because I love the look
There is also the Mega Der Red Max, but it is a little longer than I want, and I am not a huge fan of the design.
I know the Minnie Magg is popular, but I think it is just too big for my field and lack of certification (for now).
Are there any others I should look at?
My short list as of right now is, in order or desire:
Cowabunga
Thug or Jackhammer
Lil Rascal
Thanks for any advice, opinions, and other models to look at,
Steve
