Rockets



The snow has melted and the sun is out. It's time for rockets again.



This V2 has a hybrid engine that runs on liquid nitrous oxide and plastic. It was about 6' tall and weighed 50 lbs. It made it up to 6,000 ft on an M. The separation ripped out the shock cord mount bulkhead and the body returned to earth sans chute. The nosecone landed 3.5 miles away.
