Alan: If you are looking for someone to take that hybrid equipment and nobody
else wants it, I'd be delighted to have it. Just let me know if I need to go
somewhere to pick it up.Ken ParkerSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy

Launch Stem and Assy available Two points: I don’t know exactly
what Mike is referring to with the X launcher. I do know that we recently
completed a thorough cleaning out and re-furbishing of the club trailer, and at
least 400 lbs of steel that had not been used in years went to the recyclery.
If somebody wanted to pick up this hybrid equipment, we would need to take a
few minutes at a launch to check and make sure that the hybrid system could be
attached to one of our pads suitable for your rocket. B. When
we cleaned out the trailer, we found a new, in the package, filler stem for a
hybrid system. This would also be included in the package if you wanted to
pick up some hybrid equipment. We have only had one hybrid launched at Bayboro
since we began to fly there in 2007, and that flyer brought his own equipment.
At this time, 11 years after we won the ATFE lawsuit, hybrids are a extreme
specialty item. In their heyday, companies like Hypertek, Contrail, West
Coast Hybrids, RATT works, Skyripper, and Propulsion Polymers all produced
hybrid equipment, and the specialized ground support equipment for filling and
ignition of each of these systems was different and unique. This variety of
GSE and the rapidly-decreasing interest in hybrids caused a switch for
universal club-owned and -maintained launch equipment, to acquisition of launch
equipment by each individual hybrid flyer. In addition, many of the die-hard
gas-passers got into Tripoli Research hybrid motors, which drove further unique
developments in GSE. So… If you are interested in hybrids,
and A LOT of technical-type tinkerers are, this is a great opportunity for you
to pick up some rare-ish, well-maintained hybrid GSE. You may not get another
opportunity this good. Alan From: ncrockets-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Stem and Assy available Any hybrid guys out there? I have the club's original
(as in Alpha model) Hypertek launch stem and assembly. I've since switched to a
somewhat different method that can launch on any rail without mounting this old
style one.So I'd like to hand this off to a hybrid guy or hybrid interested
guy.Do note that the club has the X launcher so if launching with the club
trailer you don't need this - you just need to ensure that X launch system is
in the trailer.Interested let me know and come pick it up or I can get it to
Alan for Rocket Railroad.Regards, Mike-- The Turing Test - a method of
