Other People’s Rocktets from DairyAire 2013… an assortment below. This upscale Skeeter is by the rocketeer who first blew me with away with a high power rocket (a N2000 launch in the desert)

Gerald Meux’s came in from Las Vegas to fly his BSD Thor-X on a CTI M2020 Imax:
GoPro onboard. Thor broke the sound barrier (would be appropriate to have a clap of thunder),
climbing to 16,500 ft. at 950 MPH.Dominator 4 on a Skidmark, producing a shower of white hot titanium particles…
James Dougherty’s Nike Smoke, a late entrant to the drag race, but a perfect flight cocked into the wind
Tom’s finless rocket on a J570 flew straight for most of the burn…
and only lost it to an unstable spiral as the thrust tapered at the end
It was designed with sawed off fins so it could be launched supersonically from a pneumatic howitzer we tested in the desert. =)
Mark Canepa’s M motor plume shows distinct Mach diamonds (a clean burning propellant)

What was the motor on Dominator 4 with the titanium particles ? I am trying to construct a jet powered speed record vechicle so would be nice to know…
