HI Guys,
I haven't been here for quite awhile being busy with other things. However, some of you might get a kick out of my two You Tube Videos
which showcase my latest twin Cox powered rocket boosted SR-71 C/L scale model. Below are the links... ENJOY!

Cheers,

Paul (aka "The Rocketman")

Hi, Paul,
We had fun talking about that plane on our Stunthangar Hangouts show Friday night, Dennis Adamisin told us about it. Here's a link to the show, and our discussion of it starts at about 3:03:44.

Thanks for posting the link,

HI Rusty,

Thanks for the post.. My scale SR-71 model incorporated a single high power Aerotech Composite Rocket Motor E15-PW 61388.
The You Tube link above shows how the engine fires. Just chuffing with flame at first, then the full boost comes on with somewhat of a bang.
It was apparently heard all the way across the field! It was a glorious moment...

Cheers,

Paul
