Hey everyone,
Planning out some motors for my next launch and just wanted to get some of your personal rules about how high you will fly without dual deploy of some sort (CR or traditional). I know it depends on mind and your particular launch site - ours is regional airport with some trees on two/three sides and them farmland beyond that. I have lost a rocket there before so I'm a bit paranoid, but I've also seen flights to 5K with motor deploy land 100' from the pads so...
Wanting to up the power a bit from an H123 last time (hit ~1600') to a baby I that might hit 2600' but am starting to talk myself out of it as I don't have a CR yet.
anyways - what is your rule of thumb and what have you gotten lucky with?
