I'll be the first to admit I never really fully understood motor coding and I guess I still don't (although I am making an attempt to try).

I have been reading about how great Estes c5 motors were, but I wondered "how much different can they be from the c6?"

So I went to the internet and printed out the NAR data:

c5 Peak thrust 21.85 newtons, max lift weight 226.4 g
c6 Peak thrust 14.09 newtons, max lift weight 113.2 g

What the? Thats backward from what I would have thought....and that much difference between a 5 and a 6. Talk about confusion...am I missing something? I guess I need to print out all the data on every motor and study up.
