Last week I flew my Warp II which is identical to the Loadstar with different decals. It had a C6-0 booster and B6-6 for the upper stage. The 2nd stage failed to ignite and it coresampled. It looked like the booster engine spit out of the booster before the 2nd stage could ignite. I didn't secure the booster engine tight enough with masking tape. It started to weathercock shortly after lift-off. The payload section was severely damaged. I wrote Estes Customer Service and they sent me a Loadstar kit free of charge. They are great in that respect. I don't think the 18 mm. engines provide enough boost. I wish Estes still made the B14-0 or a more powerful C booster. I'm thinking about going with 24 mm. mounts in both the booster and the sustainer on my rebuild. I have flown the Warp II a few other times with limited success.
