Video of Green Flame "P" motor static fire

6" O-4280 with DEAP3 propellant pushes this 12" diameter, 120lb beast to 8900'

O-5000 cranked out enough power to get to 10,346'

First L size test of DEAP Green - Good but not perfect yet

Going to be reformulating and hopefully flying in a 6" in August

The finished grain. Pushing out the mandrel.

The finished load. Phenolic insulation is used at both ends.

Test firings of 3" L motors to characterize the propellant.

DEAP 1 flies in a Kosdon 1400 case in Jeff Levine's Big Banana

First firing of DEAP experimental propellant on our makeshift test stand.

Average thrust of 100lbs. for just less than a 5 second burn.

Stay tuned for bigger and better things from DEAP.

The retractable rail guides for the Cats Eye Bowling Ball Rocket.

These had to have a 1" throw in order to accommodate the bulge of the Bowling Ball.

Fabricated from 1" 6061-T6 Bar stock these units use a spring to retract the guides flush

with the body after leaving the rail and a Teflon slider to keep the rocket from getting scratched.
