Bill: do you have contact info?
We have briefed FAA on our approach to favorable response. Now we have to make
work in practice. We will report here when we feel we have solid results to
report.
One great thing about amateur commercial solids is that vendors can legally
transport them to the launch site. Just not a problem.

You might want to visit w/ Kevin Sages at Virgin Galactic who solved these
problems to the FAA's satisfaction for his 9" solids.

Currently 2 stage. Our calibrated drag profile suggests we can get as high
as 80 km in this form factor with off the shelf amateur motors with less
than 30k nsec of total impulse.
Trying to control flight path by good wind column forecast from NOAA, Monte
Carlo simulation to predict launch angle to compensate for wind column. We
are in process of debugging that.

Or as our ARLISS Extreme system demonstrates you can get to 30+ km with
modest sized (N to O total impulse) commercial motors.
