R/C rocket glider flying on longburn H-13 motor
This was a flight of my Aurora Clipper on the new Aerotech 29mm single use 8 3/8" long , 7.25 oz, 17 second burn H-13 motor. Loaded on the pad this 6' tall glider weighed 32 oz, Since I had to stand 300' away for launch due to pad setup I didn't want to angle away for the entire flight so in order to keep it in sight I flew in a corkscrew till burnout at 1200 feet. It has 4.2 oz propellent so the CG shift is pretty large, but it handled it just fine with up trim.
