Please check out the site and if you have any further questions feel free to ask! Thanks Tom Sanders Contrail Rockets

And all of these exciting new motors are available through Pratt Hobbies as well as direct from Contrail Rockets. We hope to fly some at the fall Battle Park launch in Culpeper, VA over the weekend of November 5-6. I'm also planning to go for my Level 3 with a Contrail motor.

We have a Contrail Adapter Kit available that allows you to use GSE designed for other motors with all Contrail motors. It works great with Hypertek GSE, as we demonstrated at NYPOWER last July! Anyone who owns our RTLS ground support system can get the Contrail adapter set free for the asking. The RTLS remains the only GSE that can launch any commercially available sport rocket motor, solid or hybrid.

Thanks for the opportunity for the plug, Tom!
