Here's a video of a 2.6" 'throw-away' rocket made from unreinforced Blue Tube and flying on a 54mm Aerotech J1999 Warp 9 motor. As if the break-neck lift-off wasn't enough, wait for the slow motion replay and watch the pad. Yowzers! Six pounds of rocket and 491 lbs of thrust for half a second yields an estimated 80 G's of acceleration. Altitude and location were unknown even with a tracking transmitter. Rocket by Robert Synoski, video via Randy Ejma.
