Is the F22-5 a mandatory required motor for TARC ?
This seems quite low on average thrust for throwing two eggs into the air to me.
I would be selecting a much higher avg thrust F for lofting two eggs such as the F50T SU 29mm or F40W RMS29 or F52T RMS29.

Blackjack motors are actually LOUSY for lifting payloads; they are exactly the opposite for what you want for payload lifting; you WANT high-thrust spike/short thrust duration, not long-burn low-thrust motors.

If this is a mandatory motor for this challenge, the individual that wrote the criteria may have bumped his head on something prior to choosing the motor requirements.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
