Looks great, can’t wait to see it fly.Plates: Why not, it’ll fit?

One point Twenty One GigaWatts! One point Twenty One Gigawatts!Where the heck is my DeLorean…

gave it perspective. Wow.If you do try it John, better build a Faraday cage for the spectators.

I got a very serious deal back in 2003 and at the time I intended to build a carbon/Kevlar whitewater dory as well as rockets.The plus side of this is that I was able to just throw in all the…   Read more»

ArtI won’t be able to make the launch this weekend, have a meeting in Denver.13×13 is fine, Im in no hurry for the plate, just trying to come up with something fun for the 2 24mm carbon kits I’ve got…   Read more»

Thanks for the support

I’d love some Art, but without a specific project to apply it to, it just doesn’t make sense. I’ve already got 75 yards of 5.6oz carbon on a roll, not to mention nearly as much 5.7oz Kevlar. I make plate…   Read more»

Hey Art,Just curious, how many ounces worth of material equals an 1/8th” cured with the autoclave?Using the vacuum method 6 layers of 13.3 oz. equals 1/8th”. That’s using a plain weave.

Are you going to be at the launch this weekend?

Art,Guess I’d go with the 15×15 then. Thanks, Sean

Thanks for the support

Art,I’d love to get some CF plate – not too thick maybe 1/8″ ? I’d probably go for a couple of the 15×15 or 1/2 of the 2×4 depending on the cost….Let me know what works out for the run,…   Read more»

I call shotgun!

Looking forward to meeting you on the range. Perhaps we can arrange a field trip visit to see a Minuteman up close and personal.

Thanks for the welcome and the advice.If you could see the size of the “motor” on a minuteman, you’d give up now!

🙂 Working on it, gotta run 😉

Previously, I had estimated the following for the REALLY big rockets:Continuing the progression of model rocket motor classifications into the high-end single-letter motors:W = 5,242,880 – 10,485,760 N-sX = 10,485,760 – 20,971,520 N-sY = 20,971,520 – 41,943,040 N-sZ = 41,943,040…   Read more»
