I was snooping around in some interesting Google Groups this morning and found a really neat post by a guy named Peter Khor.
Peter has gone ahead and rigged up a rocket engine attached to the inside of the front wing of an ‘annular’ (means closed or ring wing) wing model.
This is my kind of fun!

I have gone ahead and contacted Peter, am awaiting his response.
I mentioned to him that this spring we are planning on retrofitting an ultra-light Model 3 with a rocket engine to see how the unit likes traveling at very high airspeed.
Is there a budding rocket scientist in your household or on your gift-list? Indulge the urge to point your dreams skyward!
