Scott, I ground my last fringes off with a handheld metal grinder. No poop. That’ll do it, or just bury them, as you suggested.

That would work with the carbon fiber, but don’t expect it to work with the Kevlar. Once you’ve got the kevlar fuzz as small as you can make it, you would need to do an epoxy coat or something to…   Read more»

At the device level (disk and tape drives), all the engineering is being pushed offshore, where all the manufacturing is right now.Disk still has the edge over flash in the mainstream and high end, but flash only has a couple…   Read more»

congrats Ken, thats great!What’s happening to data storage that everyone but me knows about? I’m in Unix land, but i have a lotta friends that work for EMC, Storagetek, and Netapp.

Those guys used to fly with us. They had a weather sensor that they were flying. They had a zillion H125s (full “H”, 29mm). Alas, that motor is no longer certified….I think I saw the prototype of the “rocket-sonde” while…   Read more»

That was awesome, thanks. Great series to watch sitting at work on a cold snowy day. 😛

I really appreciate it Mike…. PM sent. I am hoping to make it out to MHM with a new rocket to fly…

I have a set of ‘ACME’ Conformal Launch Lugs 3.10/R.I do not use this type. You are more than welcome to have them.PM. Me an address and I will send them.

I read that men can see and differentiate around 10,000 shades of color whereas women can differentiate more than 32,000.

Women do not see more colors, they just have a lot more names for them.
