Me, I will try my L3 on a new 75 6gr. Smokie.That is a great motor Tim. Are you flying it at MHM? I’d love to see that one. I’d assemble it for you too, but I can’t for a…   Read more»

Tim, after all you’ve done for rocketry in Colorado, our hats are off to you. If you need anything from me, consider it done, my friend. YOUR L3 will be a celebration!

8) I would bet the new CTI greens will take up the slack this year. Or maybe those new moonburner 54 (can you say 9 sec. burn time?) Me, I will try my L3 on a new 75 6gr. Smokie….   Read more»

But Ed, you could still fly them with TC – that would be so cool!!!!FWIW, unlikely that the USFS will back down on the ban of sparkies for either site in the Pawnee but there is always the possibility in…   Read more»

I guess there goes my hopes of certifying some hybrid sparkies :)Edward

Don’t get me wrong, I like Skidmarks, I just don’t like them where we fly for the aforementioned reasons of fire danger. Unless the ground is snow covered or it is actively raining, I just don’t trust them. I have…   Read more»

Good analogy! That’s EXACTLY what they sound like! I have a sparky from Tim. Right place and time.

I was under the impression that Smokey Sams use Zinc Dust for the smoke and not an excess of AP. But, I’m not the formula guy and have to go by what I have on file…I personally like skidmarks and…   Read more»

I just like having a higher visibility plume for airstarts or upper stages. Just gives a visual confirmation. Call me a knob, but I like the sights and sounds as much as achieving performance goals.-Ken

It is a rocketry club and different things float different people’s boats. I loved Doug G’s sparky slo mo videos and the big smokey sam’s are great to. I say fly what makes you happy!Edward
