Has anyone flown a Mini BBX on a G64? I've just finished one and I'm not sure if a G64 has enough power for a straight up flight. I have a launch rod with 57" of usable length and RockSim says it leaves the rod at just over 25 mph. Thats a little slower than I like but I'm not sure it's really right so thats why I'm asking if anyone has actually done it.
I only want to use the G64 if the altimeter I ordered and some DaveyFire N28b's don't get here in time for when I plan it's maiden flight. Thats becouse I'll use a G75J with dual deploy then. It should go about 1600' on the G75J and thats just a little too high I think for a possible residential area (or swamp) recovery using motor based ejection only on the field I'll probably be launching from.
Anyone with G experience on the BBX please chime in! And if you can please tell me what length rod you used.
Oh yeah, just to keep the pic police happy here it is...
