Many people may think that the Initiaitor was the first AeroTech kit.
That's not true. The Initiator was originally designed while I was at Enertek and later adopted by AeroTech.
The 'first' AeroTech kit was the Mustang. It was designed by Scott Pearce.
Ever wonder how AeroTech came up with the 1.9" (1.87", actually) diameter body tube? Easy. Aerotech already had the tubes in stock. They were/are used for casting 54mm propellant.
Scott used to own a 1960s Ford Mustang. He also liked the P-51 Mustang airplane. The name was a natural.
Scott built and painted a prototype of what he thought the rocket should look like. While the design was accepted, the paint scheme was changed.
So, here, for the first time, is a picture of the original, Scott Pearce, Mustang.
