That's a great idea! Centuri offered something like that thirty-something years ago.

Have you thought about making this available to other vendors, for resale?

I love it but I've got to ask: "What is up with the centerbore and more-advanced-than-you-would-ever-see-in-a-balck-powder-motor nozzle?"

Any chance of making a normal version with normal nozzle and centerbore. I prefer that since I shown them how the burning surface expands and corresponds to the thrust time curve.

Sure, send me an example of what the real nozzle and core looks like and I will incorporate that into the updated version after we get through this batch

Jim,

Great idea and I really like Fred's suggestion.

I know the product has only been out for 15 minutes or so but I'd like to suggest taking it even one step further.

I'd make the insert just a bit smaller so it sits slightly recessed inside the casing, deep enough to hold several paper (or thin cardstock) overlays.

The outermost overlay would be of an unburned engine and the deepest overlay would show a completely burned engine. I would then have several in between showing the successive stages of burning, like Fred suggested.

The end of the overlays which sits over the clay cap could have a small flap so they could be glued in order, allowing each to be folded back to show the stages of burning, without the problem of losing the overlays from one presentation to the next.

You could do the overlays as PDFs, just like the wraps now, and it would be up to the builder if they wanted to do the "flip chart" version or the version you have now.

Really a great product idea, Jim.

And I also agree with Scott, an upscale Phantom would be another great teaching aid.

I still have my Estes Phantom among my "fleet"......

At a Cub Scout launch earlier this year, it was the most popular model anyone had ever seen
