very nice but, is it certified? I know of several people who would gladly take that size motor and fly it .

Wow! pretty impressive. Now can it be scaled and flown at BALLS?

Thanks for the link I do wonder about the core configuration, is it a very slow core burner or a fast end burn? There was also an increase of thrust at the +10 mark of the burn, I wonder how that happens.

Why of course that was a moonburner!

The motor is a derivative of the Shuttle SRB. Most of the grains are bates grains. I believe the top is a finocyl

The "instant on" was pretty neato.

Now that's funny.
