I'm looking for a rocket to send up a wireless video camera and I'm seriously considering a Quest Icarus. On 'Video Rocketry' https://www.dph.com/vidroc/vidroc_1.htm he says that the X10 camera adds about 2 oz. to the rocket. My camera is a cheapie and will probably be lighter than the X10. Another nice thing about the Icarus is that it seperates into two halves, each with a parachute.
I don't have RockSim (and probably won't get it).
I bought extra parts to convert the Icarus to D (or E) power.
What do you guys think?

PS I'm not looking to go super high. I just want to make it work. If it works I might look for something mid-power to take it higher. Central Illinois Aerospace is having a mid-power build in September and you can get an Aerotech Airspike with two motors for $40 at a clinic (they are the closest club to me).
