I bought the cheapest available out of the box of PML kits that was in stock and looked interesting. I saved a motor especially for this rocket, a G75-10J Aerotech reload as it simulated to deploy right at apogee. The rocket did indeed fly great on this motor. The rocket is so robust that it would fly great on H motors too.
