My biggest rocket and motor to date, now with video.
Kickin’ up dirt and sparks in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada. (full size photo)
And 0.5 seconds later, the plume of fire was 80 ft. tall.

Beautiful.
It looks so perfect; so symmetrical, so shiny, sharp and sparkling that it looks like an illustration.

Guessing what kind of solid propellent is used here, maybe some zinc/sulfur mix?

Wow. For a guy who knows nothing about this stuff it’s great to have something for scale. In this case the camera…

If I weren’t the product of a bankrupt U.S. educational system, I’d likely be able to calculate how far you were from this firing with a 180 mm focal length. It’s a gorgeous shot.

That’s gotta sound amazing. Are you shooting video too? Is this event the same as or overlap with BALLS? Is anybody launching anything this … characteristic?

Duh. Yes, now I see the video link. Amazing. I like the 2 cam perspective. Wish I’d done that for the X-Wing. There’s never too much coverage.

Thanks so much Sir! Here we don’t have all that chances to buy stuff so, sometimes we manufacture the motor. 🙂

I am very happy tou have liked it Steve. I will maybe (if a good idea comes) do something still better than this one. Have a good time.
