Speaking with less than 1 year of experience, I'd say that the B6 is the all-around best LPR motor for LOTS of different situations.
Now I just have to wait for all those MMX nerds to find this!
i'm really curious about everyone who flies anything less than a c in an 18mm motor mount. is it just to keep from loosing the rocket in a small field? to me b's are really pretty boring - i'm looking for max altitude on every flight. maybe i just build my rockets too heavy or i unconsciously favor kits that are heavier. i should start weighing my birds and see if i'm going overboard!
i'm curious about the d's on the list - what d comes in an 18mm size? and where can i get 18mm reloads?
Got it in one. Many of my models are approximate scale, almost all are scratch-built, so they all involve a lot of work. I want to give them the best chance of coming back but still achieving some sort of decent height. Also, the place where we usually fly is not exactly a small field, but does have long grass and very uneven ground; a rocket which goes up on a C and drifts a long way is very difficult to find again.i'm really curious about everyone who flies anything less than a c in an 18mm motor mount. is it just to keep from loosing the rocket in a small field?
Whereas I'm not bothered about maximum altitude; if it's stable and gets high enough that you need to look up to see it, then the rocket is retrieved, it's a successful flight. I don't regard any rocket flight as boring, but maximum altitude flights on semi-expendable rockets are someone else's job.to me b's are really pretty boring - i'm looking for max altitude on every flight.
