This rocket will be a test mule for a "new to me"
rear eject that spits the motor out the back, and drags the parachute
out with it. It has a motor tube to redirect all the ejection debris
out with the rocket... the chute will never see the ejection charge.
The motor slips fits into the motor tube and is temporarily secured with a small piece of masking tape.
A D12 lifts the rocket to about 700' apogee... we'll try it on this motor for it's maiden voyage.
Here's the original "Top Secret" design and data:
Winner of "Estes Flying Model Rocket News Design Of The Month", July 1973.
