Coaster
Terry, thanks for this ongoing history! It is great to see this preserved.
Back in the early '60's I few about 100 of those Coaster BP motors, they were such a big step up from the Esties A and B motors! We had pretty good results, but I did lose quite a few to CATOs on the pad or in upper stages!!! Seemed like only the ones with the nice paint jobs were destroyed on the first launch! We launched some radios and smoke devices, and managed to get several 50#/30# two stagers to fly.....These were the best we had until we found ProDyn and Flight Systems later on.
Thanks fo r the memories.
Ned
