Do you know why the new kit has a"projected altitude" of 150 feet while the old kit has a "max altitude" of 100 ft?

The new Estes kit is the same as the old one with some refinements to the wraps and new packaging.
The 150' figure is baloney on a D12-3....maybe in a vacuum with zero air resistance, but I don't know anyone with those flying conditions. More realistic is the 100' quoted, which is barely enough to get recovery deployment. It does NOT fly decently on a D12-3 and I would NEVER do it. Listed below are some 24mm motors that WILL fly the Estes Saturn V decently; ALL are composite Single-use or RMS 24 reloads from Aerotech. E15-4W single use E18-4W RMS24 E28-4T RMS24 E30-4T single use F12-3J RMS24 (zero to LIGHT wind ONLY) F24-4W RMS24 F32-4T single use, Estes "E" length F35-4W RMS24-60 Estes "E" length case The ONLY way I'd fly the Estes Saturn V on a D12-3 is by using THREE of them in a cluster.

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY. ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, AGITATION, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, AGGRAVATION, INSTIGATION, NUISANCE-ACTION, and HAVOC ! |
