By rights the c4 should have been faster but it wasn't case closed. I've had plenty of confirmations of the same.

I realize that the C4 wasn't transbraked.

But the 11.85 pass with the glide was, wasn't it?

Bit unfair comparing a transbraked launch with a larger convertor, than a non-transbraked launch with a smaller convertor.

Were you also running a different manifold?

Like I said, not being smart, just want to know what the story is ;)
