From John Storey, here is a shot of his Blue AngeL, a Cluster R 5.5 inch Standard ARM at Tripoli San Diego's launch in January 2003. Power is a HyoerTEK L625, and the rocket hit 7520 feet. Dry weight is 28 lbs. Impressive!

John Storey's CorporaL Punishment on an L355 at Lucerne in April 2002. 9229 feet, 14 lbs dry weight. Getting your money's worth out of an L motor!

Geoff Huber's Level 3 flight hammers off the pad with a HyperTEK M at the 2003 XPRS launch.

Dewayne Doud goes supersonic with a HyperTEK M1001 at XPRS. This flight hit 21,477 ft!

Another dandy liftoff shot of Todd Moore's PML Black Brant X on a RATT Works K240. This was one of the crowd-pleasing flights at NYPOWER 2002 in Geneseo, NY.

Bill Kozy nailed his Level 2 with this beautiful all fiberglass 4" Black Brant III, at the Michigan Team-1 November 1992 Three Oaks launch. That's a  Hypertek K-240 bellowing through the AeroPack Motor Retainer/Tailcone.

Todd Moore's 19.5lb loaded 5.5" Diameter RATTFINK rocket flying on the K240. Todd says this is just about as much weight as he would want to ask the K240 to lift...

Mr. and Mrs. Derosiak get the X-Rockets booth organized at NYPOWER, July 2002. They showed a terrific fill stem system for HyperTEK hybrids, as well as outstanding rail launchers.

Todd Moore loads his RATT Works K240-powered Black Brant X onto the X-Rockets rail at NYPOWER. Great flight!

Todd's Black Brant roars skyward on plastic power. The sound of the K240 is incredible!
