This was the maiden flight for the scratch build 1/2 scale Patriot Rocket / Missile on an AeroTech L850 White Lighting at Red Glare VI on Higgs farm in Price, MD . The rocket weighted 45lb on the pad and stands 9 ft tall. It made of 8in fiber glassed Sonnet tubes.

  • where do you get the huge launch pad and how much did the rocket and the launch pad cost?

  • The pad is not something you can pick up at your local hobby town. Any ways i have no clue what the pad / trailer cost or where they got it. It is owned by MDRA, which is a rocket group.

    Cant really put a cost on the rocket, It was scratch build and did not come as a kit. So there is a lot of time designing the rocket. But to give you a rough idea of what is inside the rocket:

    The motor propellant was about $200

    motor case $400

    parachute $200

    electronics $200
