Pretty sure I’ve got a Lil’ Nuke that needs minor repair to return to flight status. And if I don’t or can’t find it/fix it, my Io works just fine in a pinch. Eye ohs away!!

My son Robert has a red Lil Nuke with payload bay that has flown at NCR North many times. I’m sure he’d love to join in.And I’d be happy to build up a Lil Nuke to join the fun.As we…   Read more»

Chris, you need just one more, maybe a 38mm case, to make a nice collection for a wind chime.Ron

Already got one. An AT 38/480 from last summer (that one may have been my fault though, unlike the two this year).

Yeah, I was trying to figure out the photo as well. The main airframe looks completely intact (at the moment), but then I saw the motor ABOVE it! 😕 You built that thing like a tank, so if it’s totalled,…   Read more»

Hey Chris, sorry to hear about the Amraam but good news about your functioning L3 rocket. The picture of the CATO is pretty amazing as it appears as if the motor traveled right through the rocket and pushed everything out…   Read more»

Yeah. I didn’t have a good two weeks, with both the M1300 (not 2300 like it says on the caption) and K1440 cato. Luckily, I had a great flight on an M4770 on Sunday here, and hopefully the bad streak…   Read more»

Certainly could use the help. Bring a big rocket for Show&Tell and we’ll assist the kids in getting their rockets prepped and launched. Thanks.

Joe,That sounds like a blast, and it just so happens I have the day off. Let me know if you need a hand.

Nicely said, Warren. Who couldn’t agree?

Quite frankly, traipsing about the prairie searching for rockets has never been high on my list of enjoyable activities. GPS saved the hobby for me.

Nice work! Just remember who brought this to rocketry, Mike Konshak, ol’ Slipstick! I remember Jon Scuba saying after bringing his successful L3 back, saying, “This is too easy.”

Here’s a couple pictures.54mm nose cone, just stuffed inside with bulk plate on end. How about those nut marks in the end of the unit.2 1/2″ nose cone, with bulk plate and L-bracket attachment.From this picture you can also see…   Read more»

Mike, you shouldn’t need an exposed antenna unless you’re putting it into a carbon fiber nosecone or something else that’s acting as a shield.Ron

So I do not even have to have the antenna exposed?Wow.Fore some reason I thought the antenna had to beexposed somewhat.That even makes it better.

They do indeed seem pretty durable, on my little blue dawg, i just crammed it into the nose cone no support at all, its a tight fit in a 54mm cone, gotta spiral curl the antenna little bit, not like…   Read more»

Fully assembled, w/o collar , will fit in a 54mm G10 coupler. It’s tight, but using the screws (beware, they’re metric) to hold it in place is easy.I’ve drilled holes big enough to accommodate the screw heads in the 54mm…   Read more»

It slides into a three inch coupler with plenty of roomto spare. As-Ishttps://picasaweb.google.com/mshinn2001/DC30#5572789593765658034
