Sky Ripper Systems will be at Three Oaks, demoing our full line of
38mm hybrid rocket motors.Looking forward to a GREAT launch! Todd Moore
Outstanding news!!!!...These things rock...if you haven't seen these motors it is well worth the trip. Three Oaks....Team1....Sky Ripper...12,00 ft....Chili Man....
Hey Chili Man and Sky Ripper....talk about passing gas!!!!!
"OOOO this is gonna be great" (add Kent Dorfmund voice if you wish)....Gotta be there...gotta fly some stuff.....can't wait....can't wait.

Sweet.
One thing I have never failed to be described as is gassy.
So, Mark, did you build that cluster rocket with 38mm mounts?
You'll find a HUGE performance difference between the H70 and H150 -- I helped a friend fly the H150 in a rocket he normally flies on an H70. It zipped off the pad with enough authority that afterwards, I had someone ask me if it was a J motor.
I can't wait to quit flying everyone else's rockets on these, and see how my Gaseous Emanations does on the H150!

Started it.... Fins cut from 1/8 inch sheet phenolic....5 38 mmm mounts. Even glassed the Back end..... Hopt to fly it on 4 Pro38 J400SS aqnd airstart a J570....Followe....at some point.....on 5 J570's....can you say "easy access M"
The booster is 48 inches long...so flying a cluster of Sky Rippers is a definet future occurance....
I have flown the H and a I...They move... I haven't flown the J motor yet.... Hope to soon...Even true solids bigots have taken a second look and been impressed.
So bring it on up to Three Oaks!!!!! And Rip Some Sky.... I have alreday indicated that I am anxiously on the waiting list for these motors....

Looking forward to seeing the Sky Ripper motors, Todd.
Nothing exotic for me this time - Space Plane on a J420 and Psychotic Reaction on a J570 should be entertaining.
Still haven't fixed broken stuff from April.
See Ya There,
You guys are in for a treat. I have really enjoyed flying the SkyRipper hybrids. They are very well engineered and Todd Moore is a class act. I can not wait until they are certified and I encourage everybody to check them out!

That endorsement should be in the FAQ for both form and function.
