That's an awesome motor for your collection! I wonder what the "special purpose" was for these rare motors that was referenced on the label?


At the time that FSI introduced the "Thunderbolt" as a reply to the Irv Wait/Centuri Enerjets, the NAR did not recognize anything over 80 nt-secs as a model rocket motor. This is in part due to the years of work to just get model rocket motors accepted by the National Fire Prevention Association and others. I did get to see a couple of thunderbolts demo launched. Still, they were before (or in the case of the non-model rocket motors by Wait) or after thought on non-black powder motors.
