Anyone with an Estes Pro Series II E2X Ascender and Pro Series II E2X Booster:
I had many successful launches of my Ascender with an F15 BP motor. I decided to add the booster. My first and only flight with the booster was a disaster, with the rocket being totally destroyed.
The Ascender itself weighs 11 oz. (311.8 g.). I do not know what the booster weighs, or what an F15-6 and an F15-0 weigh, but I am wondering if the combination of the rocket, booster and two motors exceeeds the recommended 5:1 thrust-to-weight ratio?
Anyone know?
