When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
I'm gearing up to actually launch some of the rockets in my fleet that I've been building for the last 3 years.
Since I'm a scratch builder... my rockets tend to not fit into the standard "Hey, they all look just like an arrow" style.
My question is in regard to my latest rocket: It weighs 10 ounces. If I fly it on a D12, it's apogee sim's out at 412 feet. It's recovery is via dual 18 inch chutes.
I could use an Estes E9 or E12.. but I love my rockets to much to do that to them.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.

In your experience... is that going to be an issue in regard to the chutes having enough time to deploy and blossom, or would I be wiser to buy a pack of Aerotek E20's so the apogee is at 1,000 feet?
