Predicted Altitude:7,500 ft.
Motors:36,210Ns
This will be the 7th flight of my 3/4 scale Patriot. This flight will be ALL RED propellant. Four Aerotech M1550 Redlines, and an Aerotech N3300 Redline. 10' drogue at apogee, 28' main at 1100', back up at 900'

Weight:218 lbs
Predicted Altitude:5,500 ft.
Motor:20,000Ns
The DINOSAURS ROCK-et EXTREME is 20 ft tall, weights 218 lbs. It will fly on all LOKI MOTORS. Motors used are a Central N4000 SPITFIRE and 3 outboard K830 SPITFIRES. Recovery starts with a 8 Ft Drogue at Apogee. At 1000 ft, a 14 ft parachute for the nose cone and 1st 4ft section of the rocket along with a 24 ft parachute for the booster section.

 

Peter Abresch

You only live twice, and twice is the only way to live.

 

Steve Bayak
Project:"SID" (Slightly Insane Deuce)
Weight:80 lbs
Predicted Altitude:7,000 ft.
Motor:N2000W
This will be the 8th flight of my SID rocket, a 12' tall and 6" diameter 2 finned rocket weighing in at about 80 pounds on the pad. This will be the 1st attempt at an "N" power motor! It will fly on an Aerotech N2000W with Ns=14,000. Estimated altitude is anyone's guess, but I'm thinking between 6,500 -7,000'. Dual RRC2 altimeters with Drogue at Apogee and TAC-9A @ 1000' and back up at 800'.
Project:"FATBOY"
Weight:150 lbs
Predicted Altitude:6,000 ft.
Motors:(1) KBA M1450W and (3) K700W
This will be the 1st flight of the Fatboy. 16.5" Diameter rocket standing 6' tall and weighing in at about 150 when pad ready! Will be launched on all Aerotech White propellant, 1 KBA M1450W and 3 K700W's all lit on the pad with Thermite. Estimated Altitude is 6,000' Recovery is 10' Drogue @ apogee and then nosecone under a TAC-9B chute and Booster on a TAC-9C. Dual Mini RRC2 altimeters with main @ 1000' and back up at 800' Total Ns = 14,596 making this a "N" powered flight!

 

Debra Koloms' "Wildwoman"
Weight:80 lbs
Predicted Altitude:12,000ft.
Total Impulse:12,000Ns

Predicted Altitude:7,000 ft.
Motor:55,000Ns
Big slow and heavy. Should be fun to watch. It was flown and blown at Orangeburg SC in August. It is now rebuilt and ready to fly again. We will need a lot of help loading it on the rail.
