A simple Hawk Mountain 4" Gryphon rocket burning one hot Blue Diablo L 1300 motor to mach speed, and landing only a quarter mile away. This was at the Red Glare launch, from the beast of the east, MDRA.

  • What is difficult is to get everything from the motor to the flight computer to work flawlessly, user error causes destruction either going up or coming down fast.

  • nope, you don't. What you here is noise from the motor such as casting tubes being spit through the nozzle. Sonic booms create a cone shape that would not be heard because it travels out and away from the rocket farther than the spectators. Also, a rocket of that size wont make a distinguishable boom.

  • I have seen and heard a rocket that did two sonic booms within 100 feet off the launch pad!! And yes they never found that rocket again.

  • At between 37 and 38 sec of the vid you can here the small sonic boom , listen closely.

  • wow that was fast!

  • What a nice motor!

  • Very cool. Was it difficult to do it?

  • Nice flight.
