For me the best is the K805 Mojave Green. I initially chose it for the total impulse and thrust curve. That the green flame is really excellent is a nice bonus.

Hard call....

They both certainly make their mark.... I love greens, but that K1100T shot straight up....
 
I really like loud motors, but I like them all the more with a longer burn time.
My brother has a K805G, and I was wondering if there's a louder motor, with a long burn time that fits a 54/1706 case?




Thanks,
 
At this size... they're all loud.

burn times are on thrust curve ;)

I threw in the K185W, never flown it, but I like that burn time.
 
Long can be nice, but far too many people stick them in rockets that are too heavy because they've heard long burns are "better"


Gimme a sledgehammer anyday ;)
 
I love the K-805 in my 54mm min diameter Space Cowboy from Bad Azz. It does 14,500’ and Mach 1.4. I think i need to try a K1103 or K1100, and see how much faster it can go...
 
Sustainer stage MD multi I think a 185W would work. I wouldn't use it on a single stage rocket though or one with bulkheads.
 
Comon guy's,,
tell the young man what he needs to know..
If you want "loud"..
and there's a metal storm or dark matter or Spit Fire in the choices..
That'll be the loudest every time..

So far my favorite is the K456

K185 is an awesome one to fly, but don't forget your forward extended closure.
 
My first full load for this motor will be a K2050ST. Should be pretty fun.
 
In my experience with this motor casing, the K695 was the loudest. I voted for the K456 as my favorite so far. It makes for great pictures.
 
I like sparky motors, (especially the dark matter), but the K540 Metalstorm outperforms the K456 DM, so it's my "go to" motor for that case. I also keep a couple K456's for when it doesn't matter. Both are plenty loud.
 
K456 is always a great motor. Can’t beat a good sparky!

I've flown the K1100 and K550, but I have a K2050 coming this round from Wildman's sale... Both K1100 and K550 are equally awesome. I flew both in the Screech and the K1100 was probably the most impressive at that level of awesomeness. Can't imagine what the K2050 will bring!

I believe the answer is teleportation.

Then what will the following bring?
Loki K830 -- "Buckle up back there, we're going into hyperactive!"
Loki L1400 -- Ludicrous?
Then I guess the L1040 would be Plaid!!!

And yes, a Loki 54/2800 will fit in a Screech in stock form................barely.

Sorry for the thread derail.
 
AT K2050ST is probably the loudest of all of those, but the burn time isn't very long. It's only .7 seconds.
