Delta Star Rocket Plane

I've been building a modified version of the Delta Star kit from R and R Model Aircraft.

Airframe is completed and I plan to fly it at the Jan 14 launch.

Thanks. My RC experience is limited to conservative fliers so far. First attempt at aerobatics 1/14/12, hopefully not my last

For this project with a rigid delta wing, which will lift off at 2 lbs, I plan to launch it straight up from a standard rail on G53, G64 or G80 motors. Expect about 165 mph and 600 ft which this airframe can handle.

Servo City (servocity.com) has a great selection of RC electronics and a very informative website.
They sell RC relays that should work to fire 2nd/3rd stage motors. One of these shipped today: servocity.com/html/electronic_pwm_switch__dual_.html
Will let you know how it works

For a light glider that needs lower max speeds, a very long burning motor is a better match. If the glider is not launched straight up, then a special pad that stabilizes the wings is recommended. With a long burning motor and angled launch, the glider can benefit from some wing lift and RC control during liftoff.
