Vulcan Rocket Motors?

That's pretty cool exhaust. Gotta love the Top Gun and the picture of the clustered motors. I hope to see more of these types of flights in the future.

Indeed! Don't forget about the reverse cover and also the '87 catalog, photos attached. It's all here:

I'll see if I can contribute to the 'collective memory' here -- was looking over my inventory and these are some of the Vulcan's I've got in the magazine:

... snip ...
1 - I150
6 - I160HF
... snip ...

... and an interesting little motor - a J85 - a 'wired end-burner' that's supposed to have something like a 15 second burn - non-standard case: 2-1/4" (57mm) dia.

Here's some photos of the above (abbreviated listing) motors noted (there's only 5 of the I160s, not sure where the other one is (hasn't been flown IIRC))...

The above motors + an AeroTech J100-10wl thrown in for scale (I think I've got two of these -- a nice little (??) motor - about mid-way between the I65 and J125, both in power and physical size) Really sweet in the Tomahawk (after a K1100 boost).



More to come....

With Estes NCR kits having smaller motors. It may have hurt there sales in the long run. Either I modify it to 29mm or if the Estes NCR motors arn't available I can't fly
