So you really think two C6-5's will push it to the edge?! Somewhat what I was afraid of last June, during the Day - 2 of the Moon, Mars & Beyond Regional Meet at JSC, I flew my Estes Gauchito (for the Future Scale/Science
Fiction event) on a cluster of four 1/2A3-2T's. Used the shorter delay in case
one or more engine failed to ignite and allow the chute's the chance to deploy
should the model go ballistic. In fact, all four engines lit, and the model went
pretty high. The Apollo style capsule returned on its' own 7" parachute while
the main body section used the 12" chute. With the somewhat tall grass
typical at JSC, I was lucky to find the capsule almost hidden in the grass
about 600 feet down range...
I think if I can give the GT-3 a try on the C6-5's at JSC in good weather, it
should work out ok. The weather we had at Rushing Park on August 4th was
absolutely perfect (except for the heat!), as we had virtually no wind to contend with. I even got to fly my Centuri 1/35 scale Mercury Redstone (C6-3) and Centuri 1/100 Saturn - V (three C6-3) and those flew excellent.
