Guys, I still can’t believe JW is not only letting his altitude secrets out but putting them in kit form! Now, and only now, will this prove what the “build” can do! For those of you launching tomorrow, God Speed!…   Read more»

Shall we start a thread as to what the next 3 dogs rocket should be? I have so many ideas!

Great idea… I’m on it. I’ll do it over in the vendors section as that seems most appropriate?

Believe it or not, I use Rocksim V4.0 I had later versions, but I went back to the original as I thought it was a lot more accurate than later renditions. I’ll see what I can do there.Also note that…   Read more»

I ordered one as well but doubt Ill get it done by MHM. Probably launch it for Octoberfest, maybe stage it for Balls? Can you say 50k? -Sean

I have one on order and will definitely build it. May not be ready to fly by Mayhem though.

It really depends on what size charges you want to make up? I have some 3/4″ tube that would not work so well in a 54mm min dia rocket.Tony

I use 5/16″ ID x 1/2″ ODEdward

ok, what size does most people use for the surgical tubing? 1/4, 3/8?

Hey guys,If any of you are my neighbors sorry about that, hehe. I’m just glad i started small with the 0.5 gram charge. It looked like such a small amount too, #4f powder on the little white paper on the…   Read more»

I haven’t used latex glove fingers, though I’ve helped freinds fly rockets with them inside. No problem. I use a PVC end cap and a pyro tube. No problem with that either.
