Anybody got the scoop on the upcoming G8 motor?
:y:Holy mackeral, 18 second burn time.
Just barely it looks like... starts off a bit over 2lbs of thrust and weighs 5.3oz loaded... Frank, does this even work with one of your gliders? Looks like it'd have barely 2:1 thrust to weight.8 Newtons, can it even lift itself with 5:1 thrust to weight ratio?

The BPS control system?High, I'm Jim, the low-mid power director for LDRS. It is my job to make sure that we have a safe launch. I have a few questions.
How does this launch?
How does it fly? Is it a rocket or a rocket propelled airplane?
How will you control this to make sure it flies safely?
Is this motor legal in California?
Again my concern is safety. This will not fly if I am not convinced it is safe.

Don't have to be 5 to 1. That's a recommendation not a requirement.
Very cool. I think slightly higher thrust would be better, needs just a bit more speed lifting off. IMHO.
