G74-4W or too short delay.Offhand, I recommend G's. The F67-4 might work since it's a high-thrust F with a short delay, but in general it's too draggy for an F.
Sim it to find out for sure.

I've never flown it on that particular one so I'm not sure.G74-4W or too short delay.
Alright will do.I've never flown it on that particular one so I'm not sure.
Get yourself OpenRocket if you haven't already and sim it.
I hope you dont mind me asking but what motors did you fly it on?I've never flown it on that particular one so I'm not sure.

Mine has a 38mm motor mount and has flown mostly on the different Loki G motors and once on an aerotech H73J. All required short-to-medium delays.I hope you dont mind me asking but what motors did you fly it on?
yeah it makes no senseYou can buy the nose cone AND the body tube directly from Estes. A plywood rings and fin kit are available. Stickershock has decals. WHY WHY WHY WHY would you pay someone $500 plus shipping for a kit? The get the damn box it comes in?? I guarantee you can build the entire thing, plus 5 more like it, for the same price.
Yeah im going to have a 29mm mount because i dont have my L1 yet and i still gotta get a mentorMine has a 38mm motor mount and has flown mostly on the different Loki G motors and once on an aerotech H73J. All required short-to-medium delays.
My field is on the smaller side so is a 24 inch parachute going to make it decend too fast?
Remember that you can always adapt a motor mount down, but you cannot adapt up.Yeah im going to have a 29mm mount because i dont have my L1 yet and i still gotta get a mentor
Would the PSII 30" parachute work OK. Thats what I heard was recommended as I do not know what the original chute was.In my opinion, yes a 24" parachute will be too small and the rocket will descend too fast. I think you'll end up with damaged fins with that small of a chute. I've flown my Mega dozens of times with different chutes. I've settled on a nylon (unsure of maker) 44" chute with a pretty large spill hole. It lands on hard ground with no damage.
EDIT: Forgot to add, I always use a Jolly Logic chute release. I think this is pretty important. You need a decent size parachute since the fins take a pretty big beating on landing, and the chute release keeps the drift down with a larger parachute.
Mine uses that parachute and it's fine.Would the PSII 30" parachute work OK. Thats what I heard was recommended as I do not know what the original chute was.
I've not flown with that small of a chute, so we'll need to see what others say. Are you flying off of a grassy field, or is it hard packed dirt? That will make a pretty big difference too.Would the PSII 30" parachute work OK. Thats what I heard was recommended as I do not know what the original chute was.
very grassy, I flew my saturn v and one [parachute didn't deploy, no damage whatsoever. I went last weekend and the grass was like a foot long.I've not flown with that small of a chute, so we'll need to see what others say.

EDIT: Antares JS replied as I was typing. Sounds like that size is good to go!
Oh i got 12 feet of kevlar shock cord according to rocketryworksTheir shock cord mount looked good enough for me, but I did cover it entirely with epoxy.
In regards to the second part of your question, I'm not really sure what you're getting at, but I used a Kevlar 1/4 inch flat shock cord that I got from LOC Precision.
Only if it's marked "DMC"Maybe the $500 kit comes stuffed full of cocaine?
