What motors did you use in the Giant Sprite and Pershing 1A ?

The Pershing does look great, but the smaller the rocket, the more skill is needed. The hardest shots to get were the small ones like the SST and the maxi Sprite. You've got to be closer and quicker to get the little guys.

The Giant Sprite is a Hawks Hobby Super Sprite launching on a D12-3 motor. The Pershing belongs to a different rocketeer and I don't recall his name. I believe it was launched on either a J or K motor because the rocket was flown on the far launch pads. Did anyone notice the blow up photo that I made of the Der FiberMAX launch (or should I say non-launch)? It suffered a motor malfunction and two fins were blown off. You can see one of the fins flying away on the right-hand side. The bulk head of the nose cone was shoved way inside. I had used JB Weld for the construction. All is repairable, so I will fix it and try again eventually. |

The Pershing was built and flown by Brian Urban. A real craftsman, Brian launches with the TTRA group near Tampa, FL.

That Pershing looks like at least a J-motor.
Does the Super Sprite have a 29mm or 24mm mount ?
