TR-1 Rocket Motor Update

Started work on the after what has turned out to be far too long of a layoff...work and such getting in the way.  We got the motor casing cut to length, ends trued, and screw locations drilled.  Theo and I are hoping to fire this motor mid September and fly before the end of the year.  Pending a successful static firing the plan is to use this motor as a booster for a boosted dart configuration.  More on that later...

Looks nice, hope the burn is nominal and the flight a success. I bought two 4.5 x 72" tubes, bulkhead and nozzle blanks along with liners a couple of years ago and am just starting to machine the 2-stage bulkhead now. Sims as an O-28,000
