GHS 2004 Results

SM2 Standard ARM

The fourth flight of the Standard Missile was not a 100% success, but neither was it a failure. The sustainer staged beautifully, and we got a great view of it. Because it happend about 50 feet off the rail! More details to come. The good news is that both stages flew great. Great photo by Billy Dahlberg.

The Standard Missile was our first collaberative team project. It was first flown at GHS 2001, again at GHS 2002, and also at the December 2001 AHPRA launch.

This the maiden flight for the Rocket Bank. (It is an upscale of a 'piggy' bank that Burl spotted on eBay.) It flew on a K550 White Lightning motor.

Powerline Hindrocket

Rick flew the 15 lb Hindrocket, an upscale of the web icon that blogger/attorney John Hinderaker uses at the outstanding web log Powerline.

It stands approximately 52 inches high with an airframe diameter of 7.5 inches. This rocket launched on a J570 White Lightning and flew to an altitude of about a half-mile.

The Evil Bert Drag Race

Another encore performance! Last time we had five Bert rockets launching at one time; this year we launched EIGHT launching simultaneously on dual Ellis Mountain G35 motors. That ought to get your rubber ducky squeaking!

Results were, at best 'mixed'.
