Crazy Jim's Gone Banana's
You were absolutely correct in assuming the J-460T for a first test flight....that is what I used to easily see all the events. It went 1890 on that motor .
I have not flown a K-700 in thus rocket, however I have flown the K-1050 single use to an altitude of 8860. They should be close though judging by the total newton seconds.
K700 2400n/s
KBA K-700 2560ns
K-1050 2560ns
That being said the KBA- K-750 flew the same configuration to 9001 as I have said earlier but only cost 112.00 vs the k-700 at 150.00 and the K1050 at 250.00
The K-550 costing 100.00 sent it to 5640ft.
So if you run the numbers cost wise, the most bang for the buck is easily the KBA-K750 at only 12.00 more than a K-550.
For my drogue side I use 35ft and the main side the same, but I use 2 mains, a 54 PML and a 72 spherachute, when I am drag racing. Just to make it easier to spot and follow my rocket out of the crowd. I also use a 96 topflight when flying solo. that thing is really overkill, it comes in so slow.I have a smaller topflight that I have used 72 that seems just perfect, I know it doesn't make sense but it comes in much much slower with that TF chute than when usung 2n chutes. Let us know what yous weighs in at. Mine is 13lbs on the dot ready for flight 2chutes, without motor.
