BAR here, and I've only ever flown C and smaller. This weekend I tried my first Ds, and it went GREAT! One question, though: When I took each of the engines out, I noticed two strange things: First, the top cap (that holds the ejection charge in) had not blown off completely - the charge had knocked out about 1/3 of it. Second, it looked like there was quite a bit of propellant left in the engine. Spent Bs and Cs just look like an empty tube after use; this had big chunks of black stuff on the inside. Was that unburnt powder? Should I expect higher flights if I try Ds on this rocket again?
I'm realizing a picture would be helpful, but I think I tossed the engine.
