AMA scale guys have been doing this now for about 8 years at the R/C airshows.

If you can get to that Air Show Shockie, do so, it will be fun. It's not far fropm where NARAM-47 was.

Many of the pilots I have seen fly and do so well.

Don't know how they intend to do it, but I have a Bell X-1 model from the late Atlantic Rockets. It took nearly a year to get it, but the seller made good on his promise.

If it's like the ones I've seen from that group, it will be dropped from a large multi engined scale R/C plane, (B-29 or b-36) and then ignited by remote and flown under power as R/C

I've seen that on line some place. Impressive!
