Project: "I've Got Bad Gas"
| Naming themselves "Team Sky Ripper", this group of hybrid loving rocketeers embarks upon what could very well be a record breaking event: These photos show the prep of a 9 motor hybrid cluster that is planned to be launched at the Midwest Power 2 launch in Princeton Illinois on the weekend of October 23rd. Team Members:
"I've Got Bad Gas" will weigh 60lbs when loaded with N20 and have thrust equal to an M1512, with 6692 Total Newtons! 8 38mm Sky Ripper J144's and a central 54mm J360 will provide the propulsion for this ambitious project. Sky Ripper Systems is proud to be one of the sponsors of this historic event along with SFSM industries, and BoosterVision. Check out these pictures of the team members prepping 'bad gas' at the official 'prep' party on Sunday, September 26th. |
