Commemorative Alpha Mass Launch
10 years of Plaster Blasters! What better way to remember the best SoCal
launch of the year than a commemorative rocket! 120 lucky PB10 attendees
will get to take home a classic Estes Alpha III wrapped with the logos of
the 9 previous Plaster Blasters. Launched in the Plaster Blaster tradition,
all 120 will be ignited simultaneously and recovered on red, white, and blue
streamers! Come and see the show!
Alpha Body Tube Wrap
Delta II 7420-10
Club members have joined together to once again launch a 1/9 scale 10.75"
diameter 13.7' tall Delta II model 7420-10 rocket. This two stage rocket
includes four strap-on boosters that will be jettisoned at burnout, prior to
first stage separation. Our first launch of the Delta II was at Plaster
Blaster 8 (see photo).
Thanks to Mark Canepa for the photo.
Moonburner Drag Race
Join us for the third annual Plaster Blaster M Moonburner Drag Race as pioneered by and including Frank Hermes. Having won two years in a row Frank will be accompanied by Art and Tom Just, Mark Clauson, Greg Smith, and perhaps Mike Worthen. The motor of choice this year is the CTI M840 White but any M Moonburner will do with the winner determined by spreadsheet formula. Many hope to attain at least 20,000' simultaneously!
Frank is winning in the picture on the left. On the picture on the right, Art is on the left and Greg is on the right.
Interceptor-N
Making it's triumphant return from PB 7 and 4000 feet over Lucerne Dry Lake (LDRS 29) without a parachute deployment, the PunkRocketScience Interceptor-N is ready to fly again! We will be flying a single Aerotech M2500 in the Interceptor this time. The Punks have repaired and refueled our most successful rocket to date for another flight to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Plaster Blaster!
