I'm having a hard time deciding on the motor for Bullpup's first flight. SARG's new field has a 1500ft limit, and Snow Ranch had a road wash out, so I don't know when they'll be launching there again. Initially, I was looking at a couple of CTI 3-grain motors, the G106 Skidmark and G125 Red Lightning. But our vendor doesn't have any 3-grain CTI reloads right now, so it has to be Aerotech. I like the single use G75 Metalstorm, but it only sims at 979ft. And since you can't adjust the delay, a 7 second delay would have it moving at 25fps at deployment. Faster than I like. So I might go with an H165 Redline, which sims at 1506ft. The few times I've used an altimeter, the actual altitude has always been less than the sim. And even if it did reach slightly over 1500ft, I think it would be close enough.
