We were going to fly at a contest hosted by the Los Angeles Rocket Society (LARS, now SCRA). One of the events was Sport Scale.

Scott was never one to be 'conventional' when it came to rocketry. He wanted to enter something different for scale.

He decided on an Enerjet 2250. However, this would not be a full size model. Scott decided to reduce the size to that of a BT-55 for the main body tube and BT-20s for the motor tubes.

We had a great resource in Gary Rosenfield and his Enerjet archive.

Scott built the model (He turned the nose cone on a lathe).

I assembled the scale packet using pictures and drawings from Gary's files.

We arrived at the meet and presented the 2250 for judging. There was some confusion if the 2250 really was a 'professional' rocket. Our data packet was pretty good and the judges accepted the model.

The model was flown on three B6-6 motors. It had a perfect flight and was recovered without damage.

We took first place.
