Wind had really picked up so I switch t' low power. County Line Rockets was thar sellin' motors and I picked up a pack o' B14-5. T' Firehawk was t' biggest 18mm rocket I had so I loaded it up t' see what t' B14 could do. Well, blow me down! It did get off t' pad smartly but t' altitude was anemic. Blimey! I simmed it later and it said 201'. Avast, me proud beauty! That's about right, an t' 5-second delay was too long. Ahoy! Still deployed before hittin' t' ground but got about 1/4" zipper. Arrr! I'll save t' B14 for smaller rockets in t' future.
