Ditto to what Ken said. You might have to add weight to the nose to compensate. If you know where the center of pressure of the design is and can balance the rocket to find the center of gravity, then…   Read more»

Internal changes will not affect CP, but will obviously change the CG and therefore the CG/CP relationship for stability.-Ken

Mike – I have also used PML multiple times, and even ordered a set of custom fins from them last January and agree with Dave – a quality operation. I dealt directly with Kim Uroda, their sales manager @ 810-327-1710….   Read more»

I have ordered several times from pml and always found their service and responses to be top notch. Give them a call! Welcome and see ya’ at Octoberfest!

Welcome Mike.I have never ordered anything from Public Missiles, so I do not really know what is going on. I think my first step would be to try to call them and see how that works. They may be having…   Read more»

It is all weather dependent – either Friday or Saturday because it will be a commercial Skyripper 38mm motor.Edward

Edward,As we get closer to Oktoberfest, PM me with your specific plans (days you might launch) — I just know hydrids from what I read in the funny papers. I’d like to get a visual on how it really works.

I thought Chris had it in the bag with the design. Apparently there are more demons at Mach 3+ than we know about – or they are more insidious.Edward

In my haste, I forgot about Chris, his dad, Nadine, and her sister were there also. I have a video I took with my phone of Chris’ flight. It looked good till about maybe 5000 feet and then got pretty…   Read more»

All I know is Chris’s N5800 attempt shredded. No details yet from him. I was really hoping he’d be successful and show those all metal rocket guys some tricks.-Ken

I do not know how much a report this is, so here goes. Rockets were flying on Friday, 16,000 ceiling for most of Saturday until mid-afternoon when it was opened up. Only two rockets were flown on Sunday when range…   Read more»
