Just for fun, I decided to compare price to altitude for motors G through O and came up with an interesting graph. Sort of a "most bang for your buck" in a high performance sense.
For altitude I used the TRA altitude records and for motor cost I used prices from the Wildman site.
Plus, I think measuring flights in "feet per dollar" is pretty interesting. The MPG of the rocket world.
Heres the exact results:
G: 382.6 ft/$
H: 423.6 ft/$
I: 183.0 ft/$
J: 279.3 ft/$
K: 168 ft/$
L: 129.7 ft/$
M: 129.0 ft/$
N: 44 ft/$
O: 5.57 ft/$
