Yes, I have three executive vice presidents (Sadie, Holly, and Betsy) – all are uniquely qualified in their particular area of expertise. I may even design some kits in their honor 8)After I named the company it dawned on me…   Read more»

3 Dogs? 8)

Good news, John. I anticipate seeing a few more projects on your bench!Let me know when you have the first order in. It’s hard to go back to cardboard tube once you get used to PR.

Awesome! Will definitely be nice to have a channel for those. Congrats!Edward

Thanks – it is a great way for me to keep my “toe in the water” as I fly less and less, but want to continue to hang out with the cool kids 8)

Well John, it’s about time. Been wondering when you’d do something like this.W

FINALLY!

Ken, thanks for the suggestion, too. I’m hoping to find something close & you’re right TRF and Rocketry Planet are great places to buy and sell.

I think I have at least two feet off of an old rocket, it is Performance Rocketry though. Your welcome to it Ed.Art

Thanks Art.I’ll follow up directly….Ed

Try posting up on TRF or RocketryPlanet. Bigger audience there, if no one here responds.Ken

Ray,I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – “Awesome shots!” Thanks so much for doing this.EdP.S. I’ll take a DVD too.

Thanks for the great shots, Ray. After Chris posted that second one at Rocketry Forum, I’ve been using it as my desktop on my work computer. What is the frame rate of your camera?

For the harness anchor, I used a U-bolt (from Home Depot) with the steel back plate. It’s a bit heavier, but it’s not going anywhere. You have a bit less room to work with since you’ve got the 54mm mount,…   Read more»

Thanks for all the info folks. I assume that if I run a steel line from the forward centering ring this is done by drilling 2 holes in the wooden ring then looping the steel line though the holes and…   Read more»

I got my L1 a couple years ago with a LOC Fantom EXL (about the same as the EZI, but 38mm instead of 54). I used about 25′ of GLR’s tubular kevlar and the only problem (on a later flight)…   Read more»

I actually just achieved my L1 at MHM. This is a really great group, and they are really helpful, and the launch sites are excellent.In terms of length for kevlar/nylon shock cords, a general rule of thumb is 3 to…   Read more»

I’d been looking for a good club, and this is the best I’ve ever seen, due to the members and the launch sites. First thing, forget model rockets (but as many people fly those in our club, so don’t forget…   Read more»
