Wind had really picked up so I switch to low power. County Line Rockets was there selling motors and I picked up a pack of B14-5. The Firehawk was the biggest 18mm rocket I had so I loaded it up to see what the B14 could do. It did get off the pad quickly but the altitude was anemic. I simmed it later and it said 201'. That's about right, an the 5-second delay was too long. Still deployed before hitting the ground but got about 1/4" zipper. I'll save the B14 for smaller rockets in the future.
