Missed the listing, so what was the goodies ?

I have some USR stuff ( parts, builtup kits, and a slew of motors ). to be honest, most of the motors I've flown worked fine, might be a little low on delivered ISP, but worked ok.
delays seem to be iffy ( generally on the short side ), but otherwise...

Still have a few firestarters, a D6, few G008, and my favorite, the H25 endburner ( 15 seconds :-)

And Jerry stuff should be collectible, lol ... it's early HPR, whether they work or not, lol ( HARD motors used ot fail a lot, and I;d love to have a few now.

I happen to like Swiss Cheese....mite be neat in an AP propellant.....a sort of random low/hi/low/hi surging thrust profile.



Kind of a "chuff" motor. What a blast.

At AeroTech, one US Rockets F or G motor was sectioned length-wise. The propellant had so many voids in it a piece of Swiss cheese was more solid.

This is NOT USR Jerry Irvine stuff. There was a rocket company called US Rockets in the 60's that sold rockets and BP motors. Long before Jerry's time. I believe that Dale Windsor has pictures of some of these old BP motors on his old motor site.

It would go well with the salami hybrid they tried to burn on Mythbusters.
