Its always 1 grain, but I believe it is stackable.

It weighs in .1 grams or .1 oz. For epoxy it’s great because of the tare function to zero out the cup. The only thing I don’t like is the auto-off timer is a little short

I don’t know about that one, but I have one of the 100g models of this one, and it is great. Up to 100g, in 0.01g increments. Perfect for charges, epoxy, and thermite mixing.http://www.saveonscales.com/product_mw_mxt_series.html

Mark, does that scale go to the 2nd decimal place on grams? I’d like one for mixing epoxy in *tiny* batches… even one decimal place on the gram scale would rock.I use mechanical pencils.. the lead comes in a little…   Read more»

Here’s what I use. I place a small paper cup on the scale , zero it out, then measure my charge.http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93543

I don’t actually use a measuring scoop that is calibrated in grams. I have a small red cap that I filled and poured out 100 cap fulls and got it to be .85 grams. But, I don’t size my charges…   Read more»

Cool, thanks guys for the help.Sounds like you got a rare find there Warren, neat.I did see a couple of rockets this weekend with holes in the side of the airframe. So im guessing its real important for the charge…   Read more»

OrDo what I did. Buy a sliding measuring tube for black powder guns.I actually use the brass dispenser too. Holds about 1/8 to 1/4 pound.About 15 point somthing grains = 1 gram

David,No need to buy a scale for making charges. You can find a small scoop that is equal to one gram. I forget where I got mine but I also have some small plastic vials that can be used for…   Read more»

I bought my 4F here http://www.theblunderbuss.com/ a few weeks ago.

#1 – typically folks use 4F Black Powder, the stuff they use for flintlock priming pans.#2 – Yes, but a limited number of stores stock 4F. It’s a lot easier to find 3F and 2F and Pyrodex.#3 – I use…   Read more»

I walked them from the water tank (SW) clear to the windmill(NW).

Yes, the plateau that you drive in on has a lot of small rolling hills where the elevation change is maybe only 5-7′. over 100-200′ And they go at an angle so you can’t see down them like you could…   Read more»

On top of the plateau due West from the launch site there are some undulating little valleys that like to hide rockets. Did your search cover that area?

2500’It flew very well. It weather cocked to the SW slightly.Epogee started just west of the road. But did enter theclouds. A 36″ chute would let a 3.0 lbs drift a while.I do not hear well. Joe stated He never…   Read more»
