54mm Spool Rocket takes flight on the Aerotech I161W
2011-06-11Scratch - El 1-2-3 Roc  Flight CTI J330 Classic for the L2 demo flight in single-deploy configuration. Motor CATO'd at ignition, blowing the rear closure out and popping the nosecone off the rocket. In a video of the flight, the rocket rose about 2 feet up the rail, the settled hard back down onto the blast deflector. No... [More]
Scratch - El 1-2-3 Roc  Flight Awesome 1st flight of the El 1-2-3 Roc. Originally I was going to fly it in sequence but after thinking about it, I decided to reverse the order. Dual deploy configuration with drogue at apogee and main at 1300ft. Both events worked great and rocket recovered successfully southeast of launch... [More]

Trident XC-20  Flight 1st flight of the rocket. Nice boost off the pad - nearly perfectly straight. Bit early on the ejection but 3 seconds is it for this motor. Perfect recovery. - A10-3T - Rainbow Valley [More]
2010-12-11Estes Eliminator  Flight Great flight of my Eliminator on the E20-7W for my 5th flight in the A-K contest. Streamer recovery a bit hard on the desert playa but it survived and will fly again one day. - E20-7 - SSS [More]
2009-01-11Excelsior Rocketry Goony Ghost (Plan)  Review
Brief: The Goony Ghost is one of Excelsior Rocketry's line of Goony-themed rockets inspired by the original Estes Goony Birds of the mid '70s. While many of Excelsior's offerings are Goony versions of Estes kits, the Ghost is an original design with no specific role model. The Excelsior "kits"... [More]

2008-12-15Upscale Mosquito 3X (Upscale)  Review Brief: I built this great little performer during 2007 and I’ve flown it a number of times since then. I like the Mosquito design and I have an original I built in 1992. As “cheap” as they are to clone, I don’t want to lose my original so I built a bigger version that is... [More]

(Contributed - by Moe Bertrand - 10/28/08) Brief:
In
early 2008 I decided I'd build a large version of the Estes Mighty Moe for my Level 3 certification attempt. My
self-imposed timetable meant I had about 9 months to plan and build the rocket so I could make my L3 attempt at the
annual... [More]
2008-03-23Clone Dark Lander (Clone)  Review (Contributed- by Moe Bertrand - 03/23/08)
Brief: Scratch built Estes Mars Lander based on BT-101. I built this well before the Semroc Mars Lander was available. As a Jr. High School kid, I built and flew an original Estes Mars Lander in 1976. After at least one successful flight, the cool little... [More]
