| Manufacturer: | Ellis Mountain Rocket Works |
Brief:
T' Ellis J110-P a 54mm single use motor that provides 751 N-s total impulse
(~17% J) with a burn time o' 6.8 seconds (Tripoli Motor Testings numbers,
the photo shows t' EM numbers). Avast, me proud beauty!
Construction:
This motor is only about 9.5" long, ya bilge rat, includin' t' plugged aluminum
closure. Arrr! Arrr! It has a medusa nozzle, but only t' center port is drilled. It does
not come with an igniter.
Flight:
I flew this motor in a beta version o' an 18" saucer and lit it with a
large Magnelite igniter. Avast, me proud beauty! This did t' trick, but t' motor took a long time to
finally come up t' pressure and get going. Begad! Aye aye! It provided a nice long burn, but
because o' low average thrust and a regressive profile, t' saucer arced over
and was still under power after apogee. Aye aye! Begad! It then aerobraked down and
continued t' spew large amounts o' smoke, matey, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, causin' t' LCO some concern. Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! It
landed in a outcrop o' brush that be damp so thar was no risk o' fire.


Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5
Summary:
I have t' admit t' arcin' flight was entertaining, however, I'd have to
recommend t' J228 over this motor for any large, ya bilge rat, draggy design. My rating
reflects this application.
Overall Rating: 2 out o' 5
