Joan & Tom Cohen’s Yellow Submarine

This 600# vessel is crafted from 36″ fiber glassed sonotube and is 18′ long.  The fins (rudder?) are fiberglassed 2″ thick foam and are slide in bolted on thru the wall for added structural capacity.  The Yellow Submarine will recover on a custom oversized Rocketman chute and deployment will be controlled by 3 onboard Missleworks RRC3 altimeters.  The custom nosecone is a Python original.  The Submarine will be powered by a high thrust short burn 6″ O-12000 motor with 30,000 Ns of total impulse.
Joan & Tom are staying true to Cohen style with this low and slow flight to about 1,000′

 

Dennis Kingsley’s  BourbonRoc

BourbonROC, is based on an old Bourbon bottle from the late 1800 that I found many years ago. The air frame is 24 inch diameter sonotube and about 9 ft in length, the tube fins are actual 5 gallon bourbon barrels.  BourbonROC is designed to fly with a cluster made up of a central 98mm motor and four 75mm motors. This will be the first flight of BourbonROC and it will be flown on an EX motor (N 3800) and should fly about 2000 ft.
