There is new and updated videos on a youtube page run by Contrail Rockets LLC: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEfRF3D07y21UTmivI546g
Signs that Contrail has not given up on hybrids or us. I believe we should give back in kind, by 1) supporting Contrail's efforts by buying their products and 2) to continue to discuss them here.
I no longer on facebook, but I believe Contrail Rockets is, so please be sure to follow them if you are still a fb member.

Here begin another year on the topic of hybrids propulsion and all activities associated with the topic...why? Especially with interest nearly non-existent? Because 2022 marks the 13th anniversary of the NAR & TRA winning the lawsuit against the ATF, where-by removing APCP from the explosives list. This is the proverbial line in the sand, marking the time which we begin to see the decline of hobby based hybrids. Why you say? Because, of the 4 or 5 manufacturers that supplied our hobby, there is one left. One who still believes, and is trying to support us, and provide new hybrids for the small market. I am referring to Contrail Rockets.
It would seem that hybrids may still be thriving in the research world, rather than the commercial hobby industry. So, if you are indeed researching hybrids and or tri-brids, please post up the research in the proper research forum. But be sure to share your videos and flights here in the Hybrids forum. So, without further ado:
Another flying season gone-by, and a new one is just ramping up... what are your goals for flying hybrids during the 2022 flying season? Anything and everything hybrid related is welcome!
