Project  2009

I'm  s l o w l y  building a 6" minimum diameter, EX O-powered rocket from Performance Rocketry components.

It's a very simple construction job.  Here's how its laid out:

The motor will be the same hardware as my LDRS 25 flight of the SM-2 but will use a higher solids formula (77/6).  For the first flight, I will use my custom 98mm 16,000 Ns Fisher Motor.  The grain geometry will be 7, 6" grains with 1.66" cores.  BurnSim estimates this to be an N4343. 

I'm planning on flying it at Aero-Pac's XPRS on September 21, 2009. 

Here is the flight Simulation:

My plan is to carry an onboard HD Video Camera.  I expect up to about 15K feet at just over Mach 1.

If this flight goes well, I will reload it again for Balls18 in October 2009.
