Looks great... but it'd look more realistic going up under blue thunder power... Those LR-87's on the Titan II burned clear...

later! OL JR

The SRB's are so bright and loaded with white smoke that you have to pay attention to notice the clean burn of the core. Maybe you should only light the boosters to make it look more realistic. Of course, that means the core has to be "disposable" just like the real thing!

Maybe his lightweight construction could not handle the Blue Lightning thrust profile. Life is but a tradeoff...

Give a man a rocket and he will fly for a day; teach him to build and he will spend the rest of his days sanding...

SRBs? I don't see no SRBs.

Now that's cool. Is your time stamp off or did you really fly this seven years ago?

Timestamp is a default, sort of like 12:00 on a VCR

as for blue thunder, yes this was designed for a gentle thrust profile, an H-115 DM was a bit too hard on boost, Blue thunder is definitely too hard.

Dang....I must have had two tabs open cause I was thinking about the downscale Titan III test flight but I replied to this one.

How about end-burning Warp 9 propellant ?
That burns low-smoke, and is fairly low-thrust when an end burner.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !

I had the pleasure of attending the launch that frank launched all his birds and I must say all flights were very impressive. The Hellfire (full size ) was way cool the chute was dropping faster than the rocket till it fully deployed .

Well, now that you've done the suborbital test with the Titan, I think you should try orbital: the Saturn I + DynaSoar.

Just out of curiosity, what scale, more or less, is your DynaSoar?
