I relegate BT20/ST7 and smaller rockets to "Fire and Forget" one-time missions with the largest possible motor. Aerotech D10 and D21 engines are good for that.

So do I, if/once they're too "ratty" from many flights (on lower-power, recommended motors). I did that with the predominantly blue rocket in the RTF Estes X-Flyers pair; it vanished, with a staccato sizzing sound, on an Aerotech D21 motor, moving so rapidly that one instant it was plainly visible on the launcher, and was just gone the next instant. Looking up, I saw a pencil-thin blue smoke trail far overhead, so high up that the parachute deployment wasn't visible, not even the ejection puff.
