Next on the pad was the SkyTrax with the Centuri B14-5 motor.

Liftoff was a blur with an otherwise uneventful flight and recovery.

Data from the Altimeter Two:

Apogee Altitude: 191'

Top Speed: 81 MPH

Burn Time: .64 seconds

Peak Acceleration: 19.8 G

Ave. Acceleration: 5.8 G

Coast to Apogee Time: 3.3 seconds

The data clearly show that the B14 subjected the SkyTrax to over twice the acceleration of the B6 motor.

Cool!

I still have a few B14-3 and B14-5 motors plus about a dozen B14-0s.
Hmmm...
