The new Rocket . A size comparison against the blackhawk 29.

The new rocket is a 2" diameter with a 38mm motor mount.

Rocket Program just took a big step Forward today with the arrival of our new PML X Calibur Rocket kit!!!!!!!
This is the kit we will use to gain Certification Level 1.
The Ballistics Team is very excited and anxious to start building. Pics to come shortly
Thats all for now.

Happy New Year!!

Winter has been quiet for the ballistics facility. which accounts for the lack of updates. Sorry.

We have been inspecting cleaning and making minor repairs to all rockets.

We built a estes quark model rocket in our down time. Just for fun! not sure if it will ever be flown just a display model really but i'm sure i'll buy a 3 pack of the tiny motors for it so it should fly at least 3 times then retired and put on display if it survives.

Finally figured out a shock cord and motor retention setup that i feel comfortable with for the Blackhawk 29 "intimidator" rocket so if all plans go well it will fly in april this year hopefully at the first metra launch. This is the first reloadable higher power engine for ballistics! it will go up on a f24-7w which has been run in rocksim and will fly around 2000 ft. We're all excited and waiting to see what happens.

Big plans this year are to build a new rocket capable of acheiving a level 1 and 2 certification with tripoli. We'll keep you posted as this develops...
