Dug this bilge-suckin' boy out o' t' "Forgotten Rockets" box because I wanted t' try one o' t' new Quest 18mm D16 motors.  This rocket was always too big/heavy for a standard C motor, shiver me timbers, and I wanted t' see hoe t' Quest motor compared t' t' Aerotech D10.  Nice boost, straight off t' rod, fairly short burn.  Arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb, more or less at apogee at ejection.  Good chute, shiver me timbers, recovered on t' filed with no damage.  Nay a bilge-suckin' motor for this rocket, doesn't come close t' replacin' t' D10 though.
