open rocket 15.0.3, with the lower impulse motors every gram makes for noticeable difference in performance.

Finally was able to get my Nike Smoke up in the air today. What a Great rocket not to mention my first MPR flight. I started with an aerotech F44 and the Second flight was on a F20-4. Here is a short clip from the F20....

Here are a few pictures captured from the Video. One thing I am going to change is the Chute Size. It came with a 24" chute and I am going to go with a 30" I have from an old V2 rocket that is long gone. On the second flight I got a bit of damage on the bottom of the tube from landing. I am hoping the 30" chute will be a little slower.

How was the F44 flight?

The F44 flight was good. I do not have an altimeter but it was probably about 500ft. I have a rough video of that flight I can upload later. F44 would be good on a windy day. it stayed within a few hundred feet of launch pad.
