Pictures!
Here are a couple pictures of the 300cc motor flying and the rocket, the fabulous Gretna Strang! All pictures are courtesy of Dave Hanson (thanks Dave!!!!) Also take note that there isn't any 'special' GSE near the pad - no tanks or solenoids - just the same setup for solids.

300cc Motor Flight Testing
Today at the Tripoli Colorado Research launch Alpha Hybrids flight tested the 300cc Wax/Asphalt motor. 3 flights were completed and the data is being compared to the extensive static testing to verify performance. All 3 flights were in a 5.5" 14 pound (loaded) rocket named Gretna Strang. While it didn't break any altitude records all the flights were up close and personal. The motors performed flawlessly as well as an altimeter in development. Attached is a picture of the thrust curve taken from the altimeter.
