Jerry, I got a chance to launch one of your G008 motors this weekend. The rocket was a BT-60 Mosquito. The liftoff was VERY cool. A nice slow liftoff, nice striaght LOOOOONG boost. I was very impressed with the motor. "A G3 migh be the optimal sustain motor with a rocket with a total weght of about 5 Oz., but you would probably want some sort of guidance anyway. Something like a G8 with a 15 second burn time might be usefull and practical." - Alan Jones  Greg Smith's G008 rocket lifts off on a somewhat windy day for a good straight flight. |
Monocopter stuff
G008 motor in a Monocopter "rocket". A monocopter thrusts horizontally
around a center. One side of which is the motor and a counterweight and
the other side is a single wing. The rotational motion causes lift on
the wing, raising the "rocket" vertically. It is unique because it
tends to go up a ways, hover for a while, then autorotate down, or not. A major
crowd pleaser! G008 is tailor made for this type of application.

U.S. Rockets was there first with the G008.
"According to Graham, the first rocket-powered monocopter
was built in 1982-83 by Korey Kline. These started in
mid-power, but soon staged and high power versions emerged."
