Wait until you see the fin can on my L3 bird – You could drive a truck across it and it would probably be fine. I expect the booster section could fall from 10K or better and bounce with no…   Read more»

Thanks, Warren – I had forgotten who had graciously offered to part with some. I appreciate it – I’ll get some more precise measurements, though it looks like about a yard.My first work with carbon went really well – I…   Read more»

John,As I’ve told you before – I have plenty and you’re welcome to whatever you need.Warren

The scotsglass cones look really nice and the price seems right. Ill give them a call. Thanks all for the info.

The most common manufacturer of mosquito type cones in larger sizes is Scotglass which offers very high quality cones//www.scotglas.com/components2.htm

You could try the folks at MADCOW Rocketry. They’ve got some nice kits and might have parts available. Try http://www.madcowrocketry.com

http://www.scotglas.comI was given this address from ‘Eyesinthesky’ last year for my 5.5 mosquito upscale.The nose cone came ungelcoated or You can request gelcoating.Very nice Guy and got it to me pretty quick. Mine was a 3″.

O.K. I’ll go for 434.725.

Please go higher a bit. The standard Adept transmitters use 433.75 as the ostensible center frequency – the frequently wander (temp induced) as far as .5 up or down which could put the high point at 434.25. Push to 435…   Read more»

I’m programming my Beelines now. Is 434.025 o.k. with everyone?

I’ll have DC20 with me to test with the handhelds.Warren

Mike,Can you have multiple receivers tracking the same rocket transmitter at the same time? For example, could I track from the launch site and have someone else positioned a few miles downwind tracking the same rocket?Or, is it strictly a…   Read more»

449.850 is definitely a non-interfering frequency for the Adept beacon transmitters – our main concern. The Adept’s are typically 433.750 at the center though they drift as low as 433.5 and as high as 433.9.Warren

Greg wanted me to let everyone know, the 2 B-lines we will be using will be on 449.850 plus what ever the Dog collers are runnimg on.Scotte

I need some input from the boss men.I am going to let Scott use one of my Beelines in his little bird and need to know what frequency (70CM) you want me to tune it to.FYI, I’m using a DC20…   Read more»

Anyone got a suggestion on how to do a removable bulkhead on a LOC plastic 4″ cone? I need roughly a 3″ dia. cavity for the Rino.KenKen, I suggest cutting of the tail end up to the coupler diameter, then…   Read more»

I wonder if using shielded or twisted pair wiring would resolve some or all of the RF coupling issue? One problem I note with most altimeters is that except for the power supply negative terminal, there’s not much in the…   Read more»

Thanks – it might be a good idea to bring it along, but I think the club already has like a 2′ x 3′ whiteboard for the big launches.W
