Not if you want smoke, roar, and (moar) newtons!

But yes K2050 is completely awesome too.

Compare the two. K2050ST eats the K1103X for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I’ll play.
The K2050 has 1384Ns an 8% K.
The K1103 has 1789Ns a 40% K.
So…
It all depends on what you want the motor to do.
For instance, in my WM Demon 98, the K2050 takes it to 6500ish feet in a hurry.
But the K1103 takes it to 8700ish feet. That’s a big difference for the same motor case…

Trust me, I've done lots of comparisons. The former has more max thrust, sure, but it also has only 2/3 the total impulse of the latter. So maybe it eats it for breakfast and then is absent for lunch and dinner.

The K2050ST is definitely on my list down the line!

Alright, I fess. Y'all got me. I was a little too honed in on the thrust curves.

I have flown K1100T, K1103X, K456DM, K540M, K2050ST, K151FJ, K695R, K805G, K550W, and K185W. Also CTI K160CL, K400G, K740C*
K1100->K1103 400 free N-s The K740 is like the K1103. My 54 Deuce Likes 4 grain 54s in pairs although I stay below 550 average thrust. The higher thrust ones are good for the center motor of a cluster. Favorite all around is the K550. Decent total impulse, loud roar and lots of flame and smoke.
