Of all the dismal MPC rockets, this one is actually a favorite.
The RED GIANT was launched with a B6-4. I thought it was an Estes B but the loud boost and altitude reminded me it was a Quest B6-4. Altitude was an estimated 275'.
A lot of websites say to only use a C6-5 engine but this model is perfect for a smaller field with the B6-4.
I ran and caught it before it touched down.
