Estes Black Brant II.
ARTS 1
FSI F7's "nine seconds of terror". Apogee F10's are almost as cool but lack the smoke and adrenaline of random catos. Dave Lucas are you listening???
that I'm foundling right now???
All of the Motors in the Openrocket database.
Stuff like the Aerotech 24mm F72 SU and the 13mm B and C Motors.
I second the 13mm B & C motors! Or third, or whatever. I wonder if they were perceived to have a negative impact on NAR contests?
I've been told that the material price increased by ~10x. That's why nobody makes them anymore.
I actually think it was a different impact - there are a lot of contest records from those days which cannot be broken with today's motors. B-Alt of 535m and C-alt of 756m are unobtainable with an 18mm diameter MD rocket. There were some suggested pink book changes a few years back which wanted to start a "new" set of records where they recorded the specific motor used - this was partially because of the changes in motors over the years. Of course, like most pink book changes, this one was not accepted.

Hummm.... I wonder what the going price is for this new in the box, ARTS-1 with GPS telemetry transmitter and receiver that I'm foundling right now???
I could be convinced to agree with you in public. Ad refute all those horrible things Neil says about when you are not looking...
I believe I am meant to NEVER, ever, get more than 1 flight from a BB II. 3 Estes rockets crashed. One FSI, the F100 exploded 10 feet up. Level 1 BT70 29mm mount, Gordon turned me a beautiful cone. It came in hard after the shock cord was burned through. I was out in the desert looking for the nosecone and parachute for about a hour in the hot Idaho desert sun.... I abandoned the search but it was found right after I left the site so I get my Roachwerks' cone back
