Vehicle 96 E, the final iteration of a minimum diameter, maximum performance design, photographed at my workshop in November of 1999. At a length of 620 mm (including a payload section measuring 185 mm) and a diameter of 31.2 mm, vehicle 96 E was designed to fly under the power of either an Aerotech G25-15W or G125-15T motor, carrying a Transolve P 1 altimeter and a piezo sonic locator.
Based on the smaller Vehicle 99 H Supersonic 36 design, Vehicle 96 E was constructed using mainly LOC/Precision parts and a Rogue Aerospace nylon/Kevlar recovery system, and it featured three through-the-fin epoxy "rivets" per fin. The rocket featured no launch lug, requiring launch from a tower launcher.
