In fact, the lack of a strong 18mm booster, such as the B8 or B14, is why I built mine for using 24mm motors in the 1st stage. I think I've only ever flown it once, maybe twice, but the C11-0 got it off the rod with authority

BTW, I think I'm beginning to notice a pattern regarding you and launch lugs.
As for the launch lug, I assume Bill just has it out of view of the camera
