Smokeless Powder Ejection Charge Report
 
MORE COMING SOON!

A Photo Gallery of most of my
model rocket silo.
Many are kits,
but a lot are scratch built,
and there are several clones, too.
 

Gemini DC, Mongoose, CATO, Bandit, Flash,
Big Daddy, A.R.V. Condor, Fat Boy, Air America
Air America is a three 18mm cluster-
it deploys a flag suspended under 2 chutes.
 

The Turd, Purple Haze, Maxi Alpha, Big Bertha,
Alpha III, Super Flea, Mosquito, Alpha, Mini Alpha,
Scout, Xanadune, Fiddle Faddle, Javelin,
Mini-Patriot, Mini-Cobra, MK-109 Stingray, X-Ray
The Turd was destroyed by a D12 CATO recently.
Bertha is 2" shorter due to lawn dart.
Purple Haze is a HP 18mm sport.
The Maxi Alpha is a scratch upscale of the Alpha.
Super Flea, Javelin, and Scout are clones.

Fiddle Faddle came from Model Rocketeer plans.
The mosquito has flown and come back twice.
 

Skywinder, Corkscrew, PVC Roc 1,
AIM-9 Sidewinder, Space Clipper,
Athena, Manta, AstoCam, Wannabe

Wannabe is a NASA styled part box special that
actually started life as a BailOut which suffered a
lawn dart and lost fin unit.
 

Land Viper, Comanche-3, Broadsword,
Gold-N-Blue II, The Shadow, Lightnin'
What do you do when your Commanche kicks the first stage
engine and torches the D booster, then the sustainer disappears
over the horizon on it's return to planet Earth?
Build a second Commanche, and take the recovered
second stage section and build another two stagger from
junk in your parts box... Gold-N-Blue II
 

Vector 1, Mosquito, Mini Black Brant II,
Micro Broadsword, Raw Fusion
The Micro Broadsword runs on 10.5mm Apogee power.
The mini Black Brant II has since been finished.
