Are reduced nozzles good cause I came up with a design.

Hi,
That all depends on the weight, pressure,size, drag coefficient, nozzle size, ect.
But I have found that rockets with reduced nozzles don't flight as high as rockets with large nozzles though, but they are alot easier to film. Smaller nozzles also do a better job at creating foam.

Smaller nozzles are also good for the second stage on a 2 stage rocket.

Thanks that helped. I am experiment with just one liter soda bottles with fins and nose weight. And reduced nozzle of course!

Small nozzles are inferior to large ones on single stage rockets. If you compare a rocket like the Anti Gravity Research rocket with a tiny nozzle to one of our large nozzle rockets, you would see that the large nozzle rocket goes about 80% higher.
