Cruising

For the O-sized motors, they spoke with the company that makes the launchers for cruise missiles and convinced them that they could lower their costs if they sold a few extras to the rocket club.

So do the motors differ at all from the cruise missle launchers? Or are they literally the same motor?

Best civilian use for military tech in a while! :)

Victor: Ah, the acid rince... =)

Oddwick: I'm guessing 10K-15K feet for this one. See the previous photo in the XPRS set (right) for a a REAL HIGH attempt.

Benjiman: not entirely sure... My ears perked up when I heard it from the designer. The sense I got was that they are the same to help lower costs.

I just posted some rocket video. You can hear one here, with an engine probably 1/4 the size of this one.

At the end, the announcer says:
“Remember, mortgage before motors.”
