Is it still around? It seems like great little motor for sending a small 29mm way way up there.

As awesome as the G55 was, it couldn't match the G25 for the awesome long burn. I'm not saying for altitude - just for visual impact - it's awesome to see a rocket with a G burn out 2000 feet or more in the sky.

I really miss the old Vulcan 24mm G200. Now that was a fun G motor!

Probably my favorite 29mm motor of all time! An awesome motor for an Aerotech Arcas in the 5-second delay. I tried an Ellis G20-3 at orangeburg in my Arcas last month, and it just doesn't have quite enough punch to get it going fast enough (whereas the G25 did!).

I love the G20 Ellis motors - but I'm flying them in lighter rockets or in spools. In one style of spool the rocket climbs stable and then as the motor tapers off but is still thrusting it goes unstable and spins/hangs in the air before falling. It's a wonderful happy accident that this behaves this way. I've had cheers from the crowds on all three occasions of flying this combination of spool and motor.
