I was looking for a rocket to make use of my G25 motor. I was concerned about speed off the rail. However, ROCI has 8' rails, which really helped. The Leviathan flew great on the G25. Altimeter said 1170, which is way below the simulated altitude, but I had not drilled a vent hole. JLCR was set fir 300' and the recovery walk was short.
| Actual Altitude: | 1,170 Feet |
