I’ve been wondering if anyone else in the club has any *concrete* plans to fly hybrids. I know I fly them, but am considering getting rid of my 2nd tank of nitrous because there isn’t the demand.
Tap…tap…tap…is this microphone on?

I have some Contrail motors and one Hybrid ready rocket. I plan to fly them as soon as the chance arises. I do have my own tank though.
I am planning on some hybrid flights as well. I have some Skyripper and Ratt hardware. I have my own gse as well.

The club has some GSE – but lately I’ve been bringing my own hoses and valves because the solenoid works, but can be hit or miss.

I have 3 Hypertek motors that I’d be happy to sell. They’re way cool to fly, but too fiddly for my current level of interest. The 3″ L motor is especially interesting. I’d let all of it go (3 tanks, 6 grains, a crapload of o-rings, special grease) for $200 or best offer.
I’m considering them dead if less than 5 people out of our club show *any* level of interest in them.

I would go after them Warren, if I was not broke at the moment and I spent most of my rocket money on a new rifle instead. 🙁
If you posted them on either Rocketry Planet or Rocketry Forum, I’m sure you’d get your asking price easily.

Edward,
I am definitely heading towards a hybrid rocket. It’s on my list of things to do. Next year is likely.

We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
