I'll have to burn another G35-10 in one of my EnerJet models at our next launch as a memorial to Bob. I still have a Ellis Mountain single use K600 (never certified) in my magazine waiting for an opportunity .....

.


I was one of the few using the Ellis G35 over AT alternatives at NARAM-49 (G-SRA), and that longer burn was just enough for me to eke out a trophy, which was just enough to win the meet, which was just enough to win national champion.

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Ellis motors, and am saddened to hear we've lost the man behind them.
