It seems like an easier path to 13mm B impulse than handing over a big wad of cash to Jerry - and then facing a certification process :-) For the motors. For me. (Wait, NAR doesn't do experimental). For my sanity.

I looked for the same information for a club I plan to fly with this Fall. I could not find anything, so I'll guess I'll just email them. I want to build an old 2-stage design that was an Estes plan -- the Augie II (DOM Plan #28). I built this as a kid, and loved the rocket. It is a "ducted" design. The "upper" stage is a BT-20, and the booster motor is contained within a larger BT-60 tube, but falls freely.
I suppose I could actually build a booster section that has fins, and held within the BT-60, if CHAD staging is not allowed.
Here is a picture of the first page of the old plan, on JimZ Plans. This would make a great upscale, too, for 24mm or 29mm BP motors.
