How about 2 Motors, or 6 Motors, or 10 Motors, or maybe just more than 1

Sure, but I do use the rule of thumb that you should spend as much burning propellant as I do shooting the film.Doug

Now that sounds like a thinly veiled challenge…that is, come up with a new project, and motor, in six weeks that is worthy of Doug’s film.Makes me want to head into the rocket shop.A Rocket and a Motor???? How about…   Read more»

I know there are worthy projects out there but they all seem to by flying on experimental motors and not commercial motors. However, if you have a big, impressive rocket flying on Saturday, let me know and we can talk.Doug

I’d suggest a few warm up flights/tests before Odyssey flies so you’re sure that everything is working but you’ve probably already figured that out. Yea, I really miss Justin. He did an excellent job helping out. I’m sure he’s doing…   Read more»

WOW! It ‘s probably time to buy stock in your movie company. Or start to pass the hat around for your showings. I’m anxious to see the new footage at Oktoberfest. I’d suggest a few warm up flights/tests before Odyssey…   Read more»

Hi Joe,I just thought I would post to let you know how the film turned out. Overall I was very please with the footage. That is not to say there wasn’t problems. Most of the ground footage is good. I…   Read more»

How’s the film footage look? When’s the premier showing?The film is being processed as we speak. (I had to wait until payday to get it processed). But it will be back early next week and the “premier” showing will be…   Read more»

Some really great photos! How’s the film footage look? When’s the premier showing? Thanks Doug!

Nice, and your bottom set of fins is on in the right direction!

I just bought a new one. Otherwise I’d jump at it.

Nope, the 15k does data collection and peak report only, no deployments. I’ve got one, too. Only used it for my son’s science fair project last year.Ken

Does the Alt15k do apogee deployment? I wasn’t aware of that.

Anyone want it for $85?

Wieghed it tonight, only about 2/3rds of what g10 wieghs.Of coarse we new that right?After 2 more days of curing its feels even more Tuff 🙂

I prefer keeping everything quite as well. I guess I that is especially true if I was doing the same rocket as someone else. I don’t object to doing the same kit as another contestant but I would probably second…   Read more»

Jim Z’s site http://www.dars.org/JimZ/estes.htm has about any plan you could ever imagine. Bruce, you mentioned some other sites as well, IIRC?Doug, I think if two individuals showed up with the very same project, it would be GREAT competition! For my…   Read more»

I think a central list of the specific Estes and Centauri models should be put together – it would also be nice is someone were able to post plans for the originals in a central place. We can certainly do…   Read more»
