There were a couple prototypes. One is still on display at Estes. As I said in the previous post, the demo flight used what I think was a Vulcan G80 and did not eject. At the time, Estes was looking into getting into mid power and composites. After the crash, they went to clustered D motors and eventually the North Coast collaboration. I may have the timing a little off, but it went something like that.
