Does anyone know what the highest altitude reached on black powder only motors is?
What might be a good combination of BP motors to attempt a high flight? Do you think perhaps an F15-0 to a C6-0 with a C6-7 for the sustainer / third stage would be good? It's too bad the FSI F100 and F7 motors are not still in production, as it makes it harder if you use only Estes motors.
Would using a cluster in the first stage be of any benefit?
There could also be the challenge of finding the rocket after a high flight. Are there tracking transmitters that might fit in a BT-20?
Any thoughts?
