Project Goal: After being out of HPR for over 4 years. I am coming back. I will be re-certifying L1 and L2 and also attempting L-Motor Speed and Altitude record. The rocket is a Mongoose 54 kit from Performance Rocketry. The rocket is all carbon fiber with graphite nose cone and T6 aluminum tip. Project is still in build process but will be completed in time for XPRS!

Altitude: 50,000 ft

Motors: M650W / M650W

Project Goal: At the 2008 XPRS event held on the Black Rock Desert, Kurt Gugisberg and I decided to try to drag race to 50,000 feet for the 2009 event. In addition, we’re both going to try to set altitude records, but in different classes, so the competition will be first to 50K! Kurt, looking for the Complex M class record will be attempting a 3 stage that he’s been refining over the past few years. On the other hand, I’m taking a more conservative approach by attempting the Complex N class record with a two-stage rocket I call Organic Carbon.
