Small caution: E20 (or E15, same thing) white lightning propellant can be hard to start, challenging to cluster. E30 is easier.I have d12's waiting. Thinking of getting some E20-4w's!
Disclaimer: I haven’t personally tried to cluster E15/E20s.

Thanks for that info. What's the difference that makes them hard to start compared to the e30?Small caution: E20 (or E15, same thing) white lightning propellant can be hard to start, challenging to cluster. E30 is easier.

Correction: E15/E20. E30 is Blue Thunder.E30 and F44 motors use a propellant called White Lightning. Bright white flame and white smoke.
Stars were to the left and facing north.Just remember to display and launch that with the blue star field on the observer's left side, or towards the North or East. If I remember my USA flag etiquette from scouts.
I have done 4 flights so far. All of them were magnificent.Cool! Hopefully we get some views of the first test flight. I have a feeling its going to be exciting.
Thanks. It is a very fun rocket. Next will be d12 engines and maybe E30 after that.Ah yes, I see it now, had to backtrack. Looks great. Congrats
Congrats on the good launch. Really disappointed no video....I was able to launch it on D12's today. There is a club that is kind of nearby that I just opened. Watched some people do their L1 certs. 430ft on the D12's and a perfect flight. Unfortunately I do not have video.
I need 1 blue thunder and 1 redline.Crud, Neil is right, E30 is Blue Thunder. Very easy to light, high thrust quick burn, blue flame (don't blink) no smoke.
Great for clustering! E20/E15 is white
I need 1 blue thunder and 1 redline.
But damn it would look cool on this rocket.Ooph, thatll be problematic. Different propellants have different thrust curves, and if you use them in binary (1 and 1) you'll have a thrust imbalance.
If you want to combine propellants, you'd need one central motor with a couple of balanced outboard motors, or have a set of balanced pairs (like 2x2 )
I was kind of just kidding. I just think that would look awesome. After the q-jets fired a fraction different, I would be leery of using anything but matched motors.Out of curiosity, I looked around, there aren't that many red motors in 24mm. But if you get (2) 24/60 cases, the NBT and Redline loads have thrust curves that are pretty similar. It looks like the New Blue Thunder gets up to pressure a lot faster, I'm not sure if that'd be an issue or not. But yeah, that'd look cool.

Hmmm, tough call.Ooph, thatll be problematic. Different propellants have different thrust curves, and if you use them in binary (1 and 1) you'll have a thrust imbalance.

As you can tell by my reaction, I was surprised by just how much it jumped.Nice, that really jumped!
