Yeah, that's it! Iowa does still produce rocket boy's. The video of the
static test was as close as I got to that one but I remember it well.
Those where some good times. I hope Scott is doing well. I've not heard
much but it's likely my fault. I'll check in and see what's going on in
Iowa. At that time I was thinking about going up there in an RV just to
see it.
Was not long after that I turned away from sugar propellant for big
motors. But that's for sure the biggest static test I ever heard of
being successful.
And it's a pretty straight forward sugar motor nothing fancy there.
That was 4 years ago seems like 10. Seems like I remember chating with
you on that mailing list at the time. Hard to remember now. How can that
seem like so long ago? Wow.
