Re: American/Hornet PB booster

Well, I had some time so did a quick scan of the Internet. Javelins all use the up and away booster mount. At least by 1979 the Concord/etc. was using the angled stand-off mount. Early Hornets used the up and away mount, but didn't find enough to determine when the switch occurred.

I know the Javelins and Rebel/Matador/Ambassador models had the stand-away mount, and I've seen quite a few Concords with a stand-away mount...at the moment I can't remember how the booster mounts in my Spirit, but I seem to recall it having a stand-away booster as well. I remember having plenty of clearance when doing something with the rally-pack wiring where it came through the firewall just above the booster.
