Re: Old School Rocket Car Build
It has been a while since I flew high powered composite rockets. Are Aerotech motors still available? I used to love the "feel" of a G motor launching. Composites have a visceral power compared to powder.

Re: Old School Rocket Car Build
Yup, Aerotech still available too...I will be scoring some soon when I figure out what I want...I am gonna try F composites right now.. G would be way too much power for this car I think

Re: Old School Rocket Car Build
I'm about 10 minutes from the old jump site. I have considered seeing if I could launch a Bandit into the canyon
