So we won't be seeing any more of your sugar motors? Hope we'll still see you out at "our" launches, if only to help us burn off some of our motors.:D

I'll take some tomorrow assuming it isn't raining, I can't get a decent shot from in the garage... See ya Sunday! Oh, and this thing will get in the air this year, I'll do whatever I can to make it happen!:cool: MAybe This pic will suffice for now: this is the last shot before glass was...

"When you're bent down, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's childish and stupid, but then, so is high school."

I can't believe no one has mentioned the car chase in Bourne Identity. For all-out massive destruction of property, you've got to love the scene from Terminator 3. The Matrix: Reloaded freeway scene is pretty nifty too.

The estes motor serves as the igniter for the nitrous/tar hybrid motor.

They are good for EX use if you can get the parts needed.

That there is a U.S. Rockets case...

Anyone out there have an Rsim file for one? Thanks!

Yes! The booster is real close to completion.

Paul flew it again on cert motors. lighting 4 J350s in the outer pods on the ground, then lighting a K700, and then 4 H180s See pic.

Not yet...:kill:

Ok, a few anonymous details. It's all carbon fiber, and I mean ALL--> The motor is by all means unconventional in its design. 250 Gs at the end of the motor burn (assuming it makes it that far)... The project is a highly aggressive one as I stated. 100% success the first time around is by no...

No worries, I was just messing with you, hence the ;)

Oh, well I guess I'm just wasting my time then, dabbling in such low hypersonic speeds and all.;)

I've got a project under way that has the potential to do Mach 6-7 in just under 3 seconds. It's aggressive to say the least. I'll share details when the time is right.

Robert's buttons melted because the rocket went Mach 2.6 on the N4000, not because of the rail friction. On a rocket of the magnitude Ben speaks of, I highly doubt it would use a mere HPR design rail/buttons setup. Anyhow, awesome project form th sound of it Ben. I really hope to see it come...

Wow, that is trippy, my parents decided to name me after Clapton himself after going to see him in concert shortly before I was born. Anyways, that's going to be an awesome concert! "White Room" all the way!:cool:

Thanks Tom!:) Ok so ONLY 60 seconds and 889,644.3 N-s to play with. Us EXers better start torquing things up a notch then. <g>

That rule got thrown out years ago from what i've read. The only real limit on amateur motors now is in total impulse, which is capped at 200,000 lb-s roughly a mid T. So most of us have room to grow :D

Just guessing, is that the video of the smokey N Mike Hobbs flew off the AHPRA/XRAA site? No commercial motors made burn that long, the closest being the Cessaroni M520 which burns for ~14 seconds. That 20 sec. burn N800 was made by Frank Kosdon years back. It used AN propellant and a...
