Rocket glider?

[Carmatious]

A few years ago, FliteTest made a video about a rocket glider. Wonder if anyone can share more information to it and a link to the video perhaps?

It was a small balsa rocket that used a rocket motor to get altitude and then used the rocket motor's ejection charge to open wings. Then it could glide around for a while while it was controlled by the pilot.

thanks in advance,

harry

Harry, my wife and I were the people in the video, and that featured some of my early Switchblade series swing wings. The small one in the video went on to set a US rocketry record. I've managed to convert some of those designs to kit form, now marketed at jhaerospace.com , however you can find free plans for most anything rocketry related at nar.org and at Ye Olde Rocketry.
I also have a YouTube channel which features many of my rocketry (and other) activities: https://youtube.com/@joshuawfinn?si=o0MIvmwgHF4nRuas

ohhhh that's freaking awesome! Exactly what I was looking for ages! Could you recommend some designs I can build at home?
