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...
