Maiden flight so I went with an E. Used a 20-year old E15-JW and it almost cost me dearly. Lots of chuffing on the pad but finally lifted off. By then it only got up to 300-400' which made the 7-second delay way to long. It was heading right for asphalt when the chute ejected no more than 40' up. It did land on the asphalt but this is one rugged rocket and the only damage was some paint rubbed off on the corner of one fin. I'll use a newer motor next time.
