Hi all,
I have flown my FlisKits Paylord and Starload several times using 3 motors such as C6-7's and D12-7's. I have never used a different combination like 2 C6-0's and 1 C6-7 or the same thing but with D's and was thinging of trying that combination out to try and cut down on the amount of ejection charge heat ect. to make things last longer like the rocket itself and the shock cord, and even the kevlar cord. After a while with three charges going off even the Kevlar cord gets worn out.
I was thinking that on the Estes Snitch, it says to use a B6-0 or a C6-0 and I have noticed when I do that, the top of the Snitch stays much cleaner and does not get all burnt like it does when using a motor with a 3, 5, or 7 designation.
What I was wondering is if anyone has clustered motors with a 0 designation and a 3, 5, or 7 and been successful. I am concerned that there will still be small charge with the 0's that it will pop the nose off. I want to try two motors with a 0, and one with a 7.
Thanks!
