Mike,I have the Astro setup as well, let me know if you would like to get it connected before hand.Edward

If you’ve got that much room, I’ll trade one of my DC20s for the DC30 I’m still working the details of cleanly dismantling the DC20 down to 38mm. I know it’s REALLY close.-Ken

My DC-20 is mounted flat on a bulkhead with the antenna going straight up into the nose cone on my 5″ bird. Even uses the same mounting screws.

Now… I went and read most of the past posts.Many options for installing the DC30 into EBs.This will be going into a five inch rocket. Plenty of room.Would it be wrong? To put it into a four inch by nine…   Read more»

I usually bring mine with me. Just be sure to make a heads up post prior to launch.I’ll even show you how the thing works. It is really simple and a lot of fun to boot.

thank you…thank you

I can be another source. :)scott e

Thank You.

Absolutely. I’d be glad to loan you the handheld (and help you set it up) if you want.

the pieces of blue tube that i have (29, 38, 54, and 98mm) fit quite well with PML and LOC plastic noses, and fibreglass noses from John as well. some of them need a little tape on the I.D., but…   Read more»

That is all very interesting indeed. As noted, I’ve not flown with the stuff. I’d like to see if it fits the cones, etc. that I have in inventory. It may be a nice thing for me to stock, which…   Read more»

The Magna Frame from GLR looks really interesting. Ed/Joe should post something about it in the Vendor section.I’ll give it a go for some smaller stuff.It’s fun as there is more and more selection for construction materials on the market.Time…   Read more»

I wish GLR would also make 5.5″ I have cones for 5.5 but not for 6″. Also I like the plastic nosecones for 5.5 vs the fiberglass for 6″.Edward

8) My thoughts are kind of from a “insider”. Blue tube looks to be great stuff. My problem is the price. I know for a fact that from a large tube maker, “fish tube” in 4″ is 9.10 a 4ft….   Read more»

Airframes are very much a personal choice of what works best for you. Here’s my thoughts:John, love ya, but glass (which i will keep buying from you in many cases) is about twice the price of the blue stuff. Say…   Read more»

Seeing that Mike Fisher put his famous 38mm L motor in a minimum diameter Blue tube rocket and it didn’t fail I think it should be fine. I don’t think the Warp 9 kicks as hard as the 38mm L…   Read more»

Went to check them out and found “Robert Synoski, prefect of Tripoli Tampa flew his 2.6 inch 4.5 lb inch Blue Tube to 47g’s and 547mph on an Aerotech J1299 Warp-9 motor. The 0.45 second burn coasted his rocket to…   Read more»

My Sudden Rush PML QT Kit (a.k.a. Sudden Habanero Rush) I’ve built to accommodate 4 grain 54mm engines. I’ve punched it up once on a J210. Next launch I’ve a 3 grain J380 SS. And I’m then going to use…   Read more»

I’m even betting that you could fly a 54mm minimum diameter rocket out of LOC paper on that newfangled CTI longburner. The maximum thrust is 126#, but you’d need a nice paint job so you don’t scorch the wax paper…   Read more»
