Dug this bad boy out of the "Forgotten Rockets" box because I wanted to try one of the new Quest 18mm D16 motors.  This rocket was always too big/heavy for a standard C motor, and I wanted to see hoe the Quest motor compared to the Aerotech D10.  Nice boost, straight off the rod, fairly short burn.  Arcing over at the top of the climb, more or less at apogee at ejection.  Good chute, recovered on the filed with no damage.  Not a bad motor for this rocket, doesn't come close to replacing the D10 though.
