Default The Outlander project

Just found this video Chris Lillesand had put together.
It was fun watching it again.
If we just had the dough for four 75mm. casings and Vmax loads...
Plus another K510 or whatever for the saucer.

Very cool FLIGHT portion of video.
5 and a half minutes leading up to the launch on video not so cool.

That is the first time anyone has ever shared that video.
Sorry if you don't understand the length of the video.
Sometimes it's nice to have some interviews and perspective setting shots on rocket videos.
Just up and down video's get really boring to those of us who have seen all that a million times. Plus, it's just worth it on a project this incredible.
All the other flight video's are on the WOOSH website if you guys want to look at them.

Default Modroc staged Outlander?

I suppose if you really wanted to it could be done.
The toughest part would be to figure out a way to get a parachute out of the booster.
There's no room in that model as it is to put much of a chute in it, if you used that
area to stage it from say a D12-0 (which it really needs) to any 13mm motor in the saucer section then you have noplace to put a chute.
I wonder if you could fit a little perfectflight timer in the saucer?

Yeah, I kept telling the guy babbling behind the microphone to "Shut up and get on with it" while watching the vid...

My wife thought I was nuts... LOL

Later! OL JR

PS. she might not be far from the truth!
