***B6-4 NOT RECOMMENDED!!!*** Tried a B6-4 since I wanted to see how low I could get "da bomb"; however flight up was very low and it even "wobbled" at apogee (almost like if you heaved up a broomstick) and started coming down fast. Ejection was about 10-15' above ground and chute opened and rocket landed okay, but it happened so fast I thought I got a "snow dart", but rocket did work...just about as close as you can get.
