Wow… congratulations Adrian. Damn it all, I was just about to ask you to jump in and consult on a project with Mark Stumbaugh and I on a 100K N project. When are you moving?

Thanks, Bear. Yes, I am taking a job at Moon Express in Mountain View, CA, and relocating the family out there. This is just too interesting an opportunity to pass up. But I hope to come back to Colorado in…   Read more»

Edward,I am definitely heading towards a hybrid rocket. It’s on my list of things to do. Next year is likely.Steve J.

If you posted them on either Rocketry Planet or Rocketry Forum, I’m sure you’d get your asking price easily.Edward

I would go after them Warren, if I was not broke at the moment and I spent most of my rocket money on a new rifle instead. 🙁

I’m considering them dead if less than 5 people out of our club show *any* level of interest in them.Edward

I have 3 Hypertek motors that I’d be happy to sell. They’re way cool to fly, but too fiddly for my current level of interest. The 3″ L motor is especially interesting. I’d let all of it go (3 tanks,…   Read more»

The club has some GSE – but lately I’ve been bringing my own hoses and valves because the solenoid works, but can be hit or miss.Edward

I am planning on some hybrid flights as well. I have some Skyripper and Ratt hardware. I have my own gse as well.Chris Frazier

I have some Contrail motors and one Hybrid ready rocket. I plan to fly them as soon as the chance arises. I do have my own tank though.

It’s this weekend. See SCORE’s web site//www.scronline.net/

Having done it, I can say that making a custom nose cone is a labor intensive process and the results can be questionable without serious tools and tooling to make it happen.The main item is to make a perfectly shaped…   Read more»

Try Jeff with Shockwave – http://www.shockwaverocketry.com Pretty sure he’s still making cones for Tim at Apogee, among others.And the folks at Rocketry Warehouse – http://rocketrywarehouse.com have some pretty nice cones as well.

It depends a lot on what you want and how good you want it to be. If you are going to make a number of them, then you make a good one first, possibly out of wood, then use it…   Read more»

The Utah contingent is wondering if anybody shot video of Ron Weigel’s N flight Monday 5/28

No video, but I got a lot of stills. Would you guys like to see them?Dave

I am looking for opinions on center of gravity, forward of center of pressure. From what I have learned so far is that the C.G. should be the airframe diameter, ahead of the C.P. at a minimum. My question is,…   Read more»

Most excellant Jack. No diffy Q’s, just plain and simple rocket science. Mostly a Show and Tell adventure. Maybe even a small demo launch. I’m still waiting to hear back from the teacher about a specific date/opportunity. I’ll keep you…   Read more»
