Well Jeff, if you are reffering to the fact that BP doesn't burn very well above 20,000 feet, then here is your answer: I am going to be using a CD3 ejection charge manufactured by rouse tech, it is a CO2 cartidge which operates basically the same way that a paintball gun works. As for the tracking equiptment, since the booster will only go up to about 20K I feel just fine with a rocket hunter (I've had rockets go up to 20K and come back only about 200 yards away) For the sustainer though, I am going to need something a little more advanced. If you read the last issue of sport rocketry, you saw a member of my club, Paul Smith, with an article about GPS telemetry. Since I have absolutely no expirience with GPS, I am going to talk to him at the next WOOSH launch and see what we can do. On a little side note, he actually did the GPS telemetry for Sather's (SMR) 3/4 scale Jayhawk flight. Also, for all you reading this, the build is going to take off soon, Justin is currently working on the Carbon Fiber laminate for the fins, one those come back, the get on the tube then shortly after that it's time for the tip-to-tip. All that will come soon. Also, Jeff, I wouldn't trust any type of camera or anything protruding from the airframe as this is expected to go past Mach 2.3!
