Flight:
T' down side t' this motor is that is had a bit less total impulse than t' G79 or a G80. However, me bucko, it has one distinguishin' feature--that bright red flame! Blimey! My thanks t' Randy from TRF, matey, aka 'Rocketmaniac', for t' followin' photo!
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
It sure is cool t' have a Redline for t' mid power crowd. Aye aye! Blimey! (You can also get t' G67R for t' 38/120 case.) I like t' igniter and t' ability t' modify t' delay...and did I say t' flame? In person, arrr, it is brighter than t' photo shows.
