This weekend I got out my old Estes Spaceship One and launched it on my newly discovered Qjet motors a c12-4! In the past on a c6-3 it barely got 150' altitude. Much better on the Qjets!FullSizeRender-71.jpg
 
I also launched my ASP Corporal with an Estes D12-5 but the small shock cord burned and I had a separation. Both nose cone and body returned to the ground undamaged! I had planned to launch my aerotech Wart Hog on composites but it was just too wet with the weather.

I forgot to put wadding once in an Estes kit and what happened is that the charge blew a hole in the parachute. Not too big so it all worked out anyhow.

lol, i've done that. I also forgot to put a parachute in once too lol. I keep my parachutes on swivels and seperate from all my rockets so i can pick the chute i want for each rocket each flight. Luckily the rocket didn't break anything but it was embarrassing lol
