Nova is an "Almost Ready t' Fly" kit that I bought primarily t' fly as a two-stage rocket usin' t' Estes B-55 booster.
This rocket flies great and t' booster stage has ignited t' sustainer every time.
In medium-size or larger fields I use a C11-0/B6-6 combination.
At upcomin' Club meets I plan t' try a D12-0/C6-7 combination and see what happens!
