Later I’ll post more on some cool new features I have incorporated into the firmware while waiting for the board assembly to get done, but first a status update:The board assembly turned out to be a nightmare. All 36 boards…   Read more»

Ken,I have programmed a few existing Parrots to do a low-altitude main deployment (like the one I used for my cert flights), but most have been programmed with a default baro-based, mach-inhibited apogee deployment. The new version would have both,…   Read more»

I’m still not quite clear on it, I guess. I thought the existing code would do a fixed “low altitude main” deployment, and apogee was up to the user to figure out. I would like a single charge at apo,…   Read more»

Ken,One of the three outputs will be a baro-based at apogee. Did you mean that you wanted two of the 3 charges to do that? If an ematch or pyro prep failure is a concern, two charges could be run…   Read more»

My preference (and likely that of the bulk of your buyers) is to have apogee dual deployment. Especially with altitude birds, motor delays just aren’t long enough and you want it to “pop at the top” (or past) to get…   Read more»

Warren,I’ll see what I can do, while still keeping it general-purpose. 10 Hz may be do-able. The real-time data is 8 columns of ASCII, coming out at 115kbps, so faster than that would probably be too fast. Maybe even 10…   Read more»

My only suggestion would be to change the data output frequency on the USB port from 1Hz to 10Hz or ideally 100Hz… or better yet, make it polled.Warren

I buy glass fabric from a variety of sources. http://www.fiberglast.com, http://www.sollarcomposites.com, http://www.advancedcomposites.com... and Colorado Plastics (??) in Fort Collins. I also buy most of my carbon fiber on Ebay.Warren

Good luck to you Brian. All our best. When you get tired of the rain, we’ll still be here flying.Warren

Brian, stay in touch. When you get settled in, find the local club. There has to be some great flying friends to be found there. You’ll be missed here. Happy to have known you.

Take care of yourself Brian. It has been a pleasure flying with you as well! Keep us posted and keep in touch. Sounds like a great job!Art

Okay, now I’m really starting to get excited! Wow! I may or may not have my next L-N rocket, the Crimson Comet, ready by MHM. I ‘ll keep pushing… IF I’m ready to ground test by the April launch,…   Read more»

8) What size buttons does the Swing Set use? I will be flying my Talon 6 ‘Thunderstruck’ on The most badboy, L2375 White Thunder. We may have to fit it in early in the morning. I hear Kent is on…   Read more»

As of now I am planning on Freeze Frame on an N2800 on Friday but I’ll be using my own pad.Doug

What ever is decided about the swingset Art.As last year I am on vacation from April 30th thru May 4th.I will be there for set-up. You will have help setting it up.

Depends on the windows 8) or lack thereof 😯

Thanks Art. I’m flying off the Extreme pad or the pad Mark Lionberger donated to the club. I need a 1515 rail for my project.By the way, it’s a 5″ project, just under 9′. I’ll be flying it on either…   Read more»

Due to some issues that popped up there is not going to be a research launch on Sunday April 6th. Next research launch will be Mile High Mayhem.

Tubes are gone.

Ok I am stealing my thread back.I have cleaned out all the tubes (and everything else) from above my garage. I put down new sub flooring to make earlier to walk around and also store stuff. I am not putting…   Read more»
