Hybrids in the UK

Any of the monotube hybrids are pretty straightforward. RATT, SkyRipper, & Contrail all make great products. I certified L1 with a Skyripper 38mm, and L2 with a Contrail. There are (or were) some issues related to ignition for folks in the UK which you'll want to check into.

Your best bet may be going to KLOB and checking out what is being flown. Speak with the people who are flying different motors, and see what they say. There is set to be a Large Number of Hybrids at KLOB. I think they are trying for 8 Contrail M Flights... Should be something to see :)

Call Damian Hall and ask him... he knows hybrids well. Google Uncle Bob's Rocket Shop.

Perhaps they'll see a Trojan flown there!

iianw, hybrids don't have to be certed to be flown under UKRA experimental rules -

And the people who do the experimental rulings are very likely to be there at KLOB :) - although they might well appreciate some advance notice if you want to fly, and may refuse you permission if you don't give them that.

Why would they need to be certed for K-Lob?

I'd like to add that in my experience they are rocketeers, and they want to see them fly - within the proviso that that they are very unlikely to do any damage to anyone else.

Or damage to the rocketeer :)

two-fingered- (oh, yes)

I forgot that in the UK motors could be flown under experimental rules.

I am familar with a good number of flyers in the UK, but I doubt that any Trojans will be flown at the launch.

It would not be me fly> C>

Try here!!

Another thing I was thinking on my way out the door was that you should try the UK.Tech.Rocketry Forum here.

Very similar to Rec.Models.Rockets but used exclusivly for UK Rocketry Stuff. The guys over there have a lot of hybrid flights under their belt. Tom

Then perhaps they'll need one.

There's a lot of stuff flying there, but I don't think it's a Trojan. ;-)

But a trojan could be used on one of the latter rockets which was being sized. :-)

Would need 30 days advance notice to S&T thats all

I have posted a couple of question there a few weeks ago, however I felt for hybrids I would look at the states as this is were all the manufacturers all, also along with prices so you can see how deep your pockets might have to be.

I have googled for Damian Hall and found his shop but no details of goods or prices on his site, I think I will have to email him for a price list.

Hi Kevin,

For me it will be L1 stuff as I am not certified, so will be looking for GHI hybrids.

Thanks

Got your E-mail this morning. Looking forward to the phone call.

As an aside.

A great resource for hybrid specific questions is:

You can find some of us from the Uk loitering there too..
