First Launch of 2011
Hi there!

We are planning our first launch of 2011 for the last Saturday of March(I promise!).  There are a few items still to finalise but that should be sorted by then.

If you are interested in joining us at Sasolburg let me know.  We are taking orders and signing up new members at the moment.

See you there!

Re: First Launch of 2011
Yup, very impressive

How does the two stage stay together and rigid in flight; the connection looks difficult.

The cameras look very well mounted and the rocket really sleek.

I would love to be at the launch but that would mean about a 2 000 km round trip. I will kkep a look out on the launch day videos site.

Re: First Launch of 2011
Thanks Mark

If you look carefully in the photo you see the nozzle ends on a 24 degree angle .
Outside that is a simple self tapered (boattail) and it fits perfect inside the booster piece.
At burnout the two stages seperated for second ignition.
