Mach Buster

Who Ya Gonna Call?  Mach Buster!    

Here's a scratch built Hot Rod Rocket made to break the speed of sound.

Main Body is BT-52H, Fin Can is BT/C-55, Nose Cone is custom turned from pine and the Rear Fins are plywood.

Power is via a G80T-10 AeroTech composite motor.

The ejection is from the rear.

The spool is made from a 3/8" dia. solid wooden dowel that is attached to the Nose Cone via a Kevlar Shock Cord. The motor has a lanyard epoxied to the hex on the ejection end of the rocket, which is also attached to the spool. At ejection the force pushes the motor out of the rocket, and the lanyard pulls the spool from the rocket.​
