Predicted Altitude:	9,500ft.
Total Impulse:	15,000Ns
Flight #5 of the reserected SUPER STARS will be powered by an N3800 SPARKY motor. (same motor casing that boosts my "N-SANE"). To date, 8000 Ns is the most power SUPER STARS has seen in one flight. I will be almost doubling the power, using the 115mm/15,000Ns case. Modifications were made to allow for a dual deployment set-up. And lastly, a fresh paintjob has helped to erase the memorys of flight #4.
