I just finished and ASP V2 24 and reading the recommended engines it can fly on anything between a A (with adapter) to an E30-7. The first question is that it has no engine retainer and should be friction fit with tape, I looked it up and everybody swears it's safe but it seems MacGiverish to me.
The second is that on Rocksim the E's will push this thing to 3000 ft. Is that in our ceiling at Amesbury?
And am I looking at losing a rocket if it flies that high without a dual deploy system?
And would Berwick be better for the E's?

Yes but consider that if you're rocket is dropping under chute from 3000 feet at 15 fps it's going to be in the air for 200 seconds. For every mile per hour of cross wind your rocket is going to travel horizontally 1.5 feet per second. With a 10 mile per hour wind that will have you landing over a half a mile away from where the chute opened. That's about how far the pads are from the trees. You need to aim carefully.

We had some respectable wind on Saturday and I don't recall anything leaving the field. This included Howard's flight to around 5000 feet that we lost sight of on the way up and didn't see it again until the main opened.
