Instead of front loading, wouldn't it be easier to turn down the retainer to a tailcone and then fly it on a research day? Edward

I wonder if anyone has messed around with a helical offset core? That would give it the same burn geometry (at least in 2D), but eliminate the weight imbalance. As long as it were a perfect helix, t...

After flying the Delta II back in 2004 I would go with starting the central motor (assuming it can safely lift the rocket) and then lighting the other motors via onboard electronics. We did the Delta...

I'm pretty sure that is the chute from John Bixler's Junior flight on Sunday. He had a flight anomaly at burnout and it shredded. The booster was recovered about 50 yards north in the pad area sans a...

So after reading over this I think there probably is a simpler solution than banning an altimeter flown by the manufacturer. When digital photography came of age it just so happened that all truth in...

Following John W.'s logic that it is really hard to drift 15,000' away on a 9k boost another data point is John Bixler's Junior flight on Friday. He flew a 54mm diameter rocket to 22,312' and recover...

I do not have a website for purchases - I'm a little more old fashioned 🙂 If you have something in mind let me know and I can get you a price on it. I'll post the MSRP here, but I can give you some ...

Hey! RATTWorks motors are available, mainly through Pratt Hobbies. I really like the Skyrippers for monotube hybrids (hence why I'm a dealer). They are easy to set up and always light. I was 4/4 wi...

No problem on that! I'll trust you on the setup! Edward

Yes it will. Todd had some awesome 54mm retaining rings made that fit Aeropack and Slimline. Also - what electronics. Edward

I have a set of drills so you are good to go. What kind of motor retention do you have?

The SRS 54mm motors run from 24 to 36" long. J/K power. They do require a vent and the reloads run $20/flight. Here is the performance information: Let me know if it will work for you! Edward

Thanks a ton Joe! I'll black those out of my photography schedule! Edward

I'll be hosting a tutorial to help demystify hybrids on Friday and Saturday. It will include going through the assembly of a Skyripper Systems motor. Feel free to drop by and ask questions! Edward
