The First HPRs - What Were They Like?

I've been wondering lately. What were the first High Powered ROckets like? What kind of stuff was flown at LDRS 1?

Go over to RocketryPlanet and ask. Then wait for he who
must not be named to reply.

Who flew the G!!!

Wow...

So much drama back then. Lol

From "The LDRS Story" by Chris Pearson

"LDRS-1 went off without a hitch. People came from all the surrounding states and one as far away as California to attend. There were a grand total of 47 people at the launch.
Not 47 flyers, 47 people! For launching hardware we had the SNOAR model rocket racks and one launcher with interchangeable rods up to ½”! A far cry from the launch
range at LDRS today! A lot of FSI E and F motor clusters were flown, along with clusters of D12’s. Left-over Composite Dynamics motors were flown, along with
Plasmajets and SSRS motors. The highlight of the launch was rockets flown with single composite Rocket Development Corp. H and I motors!"
