To the best of my knowledge, we don't have an "all up" mentality, and never have had. We may have incrementally tested to higher levels than strict prudence would have dictated - that third flight in November was pushing it - but we have always incrementally tested. For the 10 liter flight - in moderate winds, or not at all - I would recommend first flying it with 4 liters, then with 7 liters, and then with 10 liters.


Dave W flew a 3" HPR rocket bought at Black Rock in 2001. The Canadian- made Pro-38 motor pushed the rocket to 780 feet -- respectable performance for a G-size motor.

In 2001? And we're only just hearing of this?

He bought the rocket in 2001.
