Tyler has the most rockets. Grandfather helps him build some of them.

DSC00895.JPG (95373 bytes) Tyler with his Apogee Stonebreaker. We built this for the XPRS 04 Duration contest. Originally built with a 36" Spherachute, which turned out to be too heavy and came down faster than the rocket. After a couple more failed attempts, the Stonebreaker worked the best with a 24" Top flight chute. Tyler won the E impulse competition when the Stonebreaker stayed up for 3 minutes and 9 seconds.

Ty mustang.jpg (121951 bytes) Tyler with his Aerotech Mustang. Rob built this rocket and it's one of the two oldest ones in the fleet. It goes up almost 3000' with a G80. The Mustang is presently undergoing repairs after hitting a sidewalk in Livermore. It'll be back.
