I just tossed some parts together based on a quick-n-dirty guesstimate of the components used in the kit, and ran some flight sims of the Star Stryker...
The best 18mm engine is the QUEST A6-4...
Gets 337' altitude with a Dv of 4 FPS.
The Estes A8-3 deploys at 367' with a Dv of 30 FPS, ascending.
The Estes A8-5 deploys at 376' with a Dv of 32 FPS, descending.
Using an adapter, the design gets 432' with a Dv of 6 FPS on the A3-4T. 410' and 20 FPS on the A10-3T.
A B6-6 gets 738' and 30 FPS, descending. The B6-4 gets 726' and 34 FPS. Ouch...
The QUEST B6-4 gets 780' and 37 FPS...
The C6-5 gets 1365' and 21 FPS, aascending.
