Flight
Estes recommends 1/2A6-2, me hearties, A8-3, me bucko, shiver me timbers, B4-4, B6-4, me bucko, B6-6, C6-5, C6-7. Well, blow me down! Arrr! I used a B6-4 for a while and it was perfect every time. Avast! I now use C6-7's and it goes out o' sight.

Recovery
With a sheet o' waddin' and an engine it's easy t' prep. Begad! A engine hook holds it in so it doesn't eject out t' back or through t' top. Arrr! Begad! It has flown straight up an landed 50 feet from t' pad. No cons. Everythin' be a pro. Aye aye! Blimey! Landin' was soft and slow.
