Rich, was that a donut in memory of Alex on the nosecone?
Damn, that rocket was almost too nice looking to fly! And the best part
was the knob decal. Where can one purchase these? I'd like to buy a dozen!

You know, Calvin must have a very large bladder. He's p*$$ed on just about
everything in the last 10 years.

Yup, the donut was for Alex.
I got the decals from Graphix & Stuff. They do GREAT work.

I love the colors. If I have a choice in the impulse range I'm looking for,
I go Red or Blackjack.

According to some people they do. I don't care what people think, as
long as I can fly them, I will. :)

The color looks right for a green knob motor.

Now that's the ultimate knob motor visually, now if it whistled or sang
a tune that would make it the "absolute ultimate" knob motor.
The rainbow color is such a nice knobby touch.

I like how the mach diamonds are darker in color than the surrounding
colors! Knob on! 8-)

But the doughnut on the nose makes it an absolute classic......or
tribute. Perhaps there were rainbow jimmies on it.

Hi Rich,
What was the impulse of the Knob Motor ?

The core motor was an AMW M1850 (the Original Knob motor). It's the
green load for the AMW 75-6000 case. Total impulse for that load is
5920ns. Too add to the knobbiness, I air started two I325 White Wolf
loads, but didn't get photos of that.
