L2 HPR saucers

I've seen or read of many high power saucers, including some bigs ones power by M or N motors. Polecat Aerospace (formerly Skunkworks Rocketry) even has a high power saucer kit.

I don't know for sure whether anyone has ever used a saucer for a Level 2 cert but I'd be very surprised if that hasn't been done yet.

What'sUp Hobbies sells one that flies great on a K motor. I don't know that anyone has ever used one of the kits as a cert rocket, but it would be possible.

Well, Tom Binford built one to test a propellant formula for a "P" motor he was working on. Needed the saucer to keep the 17 second burn time "N" test motor under the waiver at O'burg (that or an unstable

BTW, Tom has flown it more than once I think. The first time it was launched, I thought It sounded like an F18 running the throttle up real hard, afterburner too. Check

I'm confident that Tom will correct any incorrect statements I've made about his "test saucer".

I built the saucer for the 17 second burn reload for the AT 98/15360 case. It's the same well characterized propellant I use in the P motor. The N flies in the 40" saucer:

I am afraid those are scary cool.

I like the way the case sticks most of the way out the top of the saucer! I was wondering if the 'N' saucer might actually be tall enough in the middle to house the motor (like a giant AA saucer), now that would be extra cool...

Nice videos on the site - esp the saucer.
