Here is another scratch design of mine called the VORLON 5, I've flown this design plenty of time before as I did a 5.5" version made out of glassed LOC tubing and a 3" version with a cluster of 2 29mm, Its always been a favorite of mine hence the Vorlon 5 version.
On the VORLON 5 though I amped it up quit a bit, Here are its Specs:
All the aluminum was custom anodized by Performance Rocketry, All Bulk plates where also made by Performance Rocketry, The Thrust plate was done by SC Precision.
Epoxy used was Performance Rocketry's Pro-Line epoxy, I have to say this stuff is the best epoxy I've ever worked with I call it Black Gold, Easy to mix and work worth.
First flight is at Red Glare XI on a CTI N1800WH - Altatude was 16,772'
This may also be available in Kit form.
