The large tower has an internal diameter of 16.5″ at the upper ring, so you should be OK.Now, we just need to get someone who can take the tower up from Longmont as I will not be flying this weekend.I’ll…   Read more»

Shoot, I didn’t realize I had build such a large bird for our standard towers. My mistake. Unfortunately, I don’t have any lugs on hand to install for Saturday. I may need to rethink things a bit here.Not knowing the…   Read more»

Everything is coming together for me to be there on Saturday, so yes, you can plan on my tower being there.I’d donate the tower to the club except that sometimes I want it at TC Hartsel launches too. I’ll try…   Read more»

Just a note: I will be setting up the ‘Red Pad’ with at leastan 8′ for 1515 rail buttons.

Adrain,Can we plan on using your tower for Scott’s flight?I might be easier to transport and setup than the club’s large tower.Ed

I’m planning to be there with my 8′ tower that has been used at NCR since MHM. If my plans change then perhaps someone can pick it up down here. It disassembles nicely so it actually fits in most cars…   Read more»

I have the small bicycle tower and will be bringing it this weekend.The big tower, on the front page of the website is really only good for 3″ and up. It just doesn’t adjust down well for 54mm. It also…   Read more»

I missed the fact that you said your rocket is 8’6″ in your first post. Had I paid attention, that would have answered my question…..

Scott,The club has three towers. The largest one is the one you can see in the photo currently on the main page of the website. It is very stout and works well for three inch, big motor, birds. It is…   Read more»

Mike,So even a fast burn 38mm won’t make it work? Darn. Well it looks cool.Missed you last launch. My daughter and I launched a 1x Swift and a 3x Swift. The 1x is still out there on the prairie, and…   Read more»

I thought of a hone. The outside is 53.3 OD. And the fins areglued to it. The process of honing would completely remove thephelonic tube leaving the inner fins exposed. One could thenslide some 54mm mmt…but. No way to re-glue…   Read more»

Mike, Before you tear the rocket apart, try using a 3 stone engine hone ran thru the motor mount. I just wrap each stone with a peice of 80grit sand paper. Ive used this many times for undersize 38mm tubing….   Read more»

Rats. Ouch. Doh! Ouch. Measure twice, cut once indeed…If you do NOT want the K660, no worries – just let me know. It’ll sell (or worst case I get to fly it). Don’t feel compelled to use it on my…   Read more»
