The Exec flies great with Estes D's and E's, if you build it light-weight like the instructions say. I just didn't think it would get so high with an F (and I didn't do any calcs or sims beforehand). I thought about using a smaller 'chute with an outside anchor, but didn't take the time. Well, I paid for it. Winds aloft were a bit stronger that day than down at the ground, and it floated away. That's been a year or two, and no one has phoned with news of recovery (I put my ident on the outside) and I am not counting on seeing it again. Sure would like to reclaim that nose cone, though.
