Nope. Same capacitor for both, for C the plane just has to be actually aerodynamically stable to get off the ground. All the B ones that do well will also do that because it's the same premise. If you can't fly off the ground, then it won't fly long anyways

Yeah. I'm generally too lazy to build. Ironically, I signed up for bottle rocket. My partner did all the work in that one. :)

haha..my friend loves bottle rocket, but it stresses her out soo much!
she'll be like "dude, (her partner), go and get the stinken rocket that we just launched" and
he will be like "what rocket? i thought that was a flying carrot"
my friend:"no you dummy! YOU just launched it, YOU go get it jerk..."
guy: "you pumped it, you let go of the string, YOU RUN AND GET IT"


ends up, i sprint and get it.... :lol:

Actually the biggest difference in helping the Div. C launch from the ground (other then it's landing gear :P ) is that a geared motor is allowed. Very big difference, the propeller will spin much faster.

Interesting. I'm in div. B, so I might throw it in my partner's face. :)
