With all the sugar motors I did, I had the NASA style launch. They burned for a second or two with great smoke, then suddenly built up thrust and came off of the pad. Really built up a good roar also. I like the dense white smoke of the sugar motors. I think Nate L. flew a sugar motor in a Loki 54-2550 case a couple years ago. It was awesome 🙂

If you want to make the step to 38mm cases I've got a couple that I don't use from past projects - no problem on the flapper - next time maybe they won't melt.

I have 3 current future projects in the works.

All 3 are scratch built.

Finally getting my 3x Estes YellowJacket done.

The large one is an upgrade from my original L2 project from 1999-
Shredder. This will be a k or L motor rocket, possibly a hybrid build.

Last one is a futuristic spaceship lookin thingy.

When these are done I have a rocket called "Lizzy Borden" which will be a rocket that looks like an axe. Then there are 3 others that are in the planning stage or partialy completed but no hurry on them.

Good idea Mike.

Also, don't worry about those Growler Monkeys.... We have the usual Barking Spyders and Moose running around too. It's a wyld world ya know. One tip, wash the beans, it takes most of the bacteria off that makes the critters.

I'm finishing up on "Down the Nose O" a kit bashed PML IO 2.1" x 72", 38mm mtr mount, dual deploy bird.... It was supposed to fly yesterday.

I have a Wildman Dual Deploy, 98mm minimum diameter build - Thanks to Mr. Wilke's design help.

And will start building what I hope to some day fly as an L3 bird. PML Ultimate Endeavor - re created with the help of James Russell, John Wilke and my twisted imagination.

I hope to have a real web page up sooner or later to let you guys see what deviance I am up to... Everyone seems to have them, I'm always late to the club.... 😛

Mike, I know I speak for all the local vendors when I say we appreciate everyone's support very much! We are one of the few clubs that could take a rocket pretty much from concept to recovery using all in-house stuff. It would be great to do a project sometimethat was totally done from in-house items.... down to machining the cases and pouring our own propellant. We have the skillset to do just that!
