Just a quick note of reference, your speeds listed for Mach aren't necessarily accurate. If you launch in say, Colorado as compared to say, California, the speed required to go Mach is going to be different due to different air thicknesses, environment, etc.
That's all I've got.
That M flight only hit M1.3? I would have guessed faster...
Surprising - in that case, I've gone a bit faster than you.
I've gone around 1100mph, or about mach 1.5
Quarter mile straight up in 1.18 seconds at 1050mph
It has been a while since I have taped an igniter in place with masking tape (or any other tape)...the last time I did, the rocket carried the igniter leads up a good piece before the tape let loose...burning the wires and clips of the leads in the exhaust on its way up...and the leads weren't mine. Needless to say, that pad was shut down till they were repaired.
Nice looking rocket there, and I'm a sucker for a Red flame myself!

Yep - you did beat me in accel therewell i have gone faster, but never got there quite so fast as with a relatively light 38mm rocket on an H999. Sims suggest hitting M1 at about .27 second, 120' off the ground or so. I'm sure someone else has gotten to M1 faster but can't have been by too much. And I have another reload which I plan on trying in a shorter, lighter rocket with accelerometers on board later this fall.

Pics are by CJL's dad, Ray, whose rocket pics have made quite a splash.
Got a additional question.
how fast have you had one come in ballistic??
I might have that one??
back in 1995 the "Our" project was calculated to have gone in at over mach 1.6!!
10" dia rocket liquified a 30' dia hole in the ROCK Hard plyer of the Black Rock desert.
frank Kosdon did some math and estimated it went down aprox 75'+.
We have the gps #'s anybody want to go mining
Just an old tid bit.
Thanks Paul
