I’m just using stainless – I have 4 in 1/2″, 4 in 1/4″… I’ll be adding 3/8″ when I start my 4″ MD project. Bosun Supply is great and the prices beat the hell out of McMaster-Carr.Warren

Awesome, Bruce – many thanks. Those things are wonderful, I use them on all my rockets anymore. I just don’t have enough to equip two large rockets… I have them in 1/4″, 5/16″, and 3/8″. BTW, the cool kids use…   Read more»

Chris -I found your Aerotech Arreaux on Saturday, 12/6. My Io just about landed on it. The booster may be able to be reused. The forward section is a bit water logged and perhaps no longer airworthy. Nosecone needs a…   Read more»

Dale,I cant’ believe you found it! I was out there about two weeks ago looking again 😀 and of course didnt’ find anything. I had looked in areas where I thought it might have gone if the chute deployed but…   Read more»

Sparky I found this morning a red IO with a 38mm at case and an e-bay with a slide switch on the side. I haven’t opened it up to see what kind of ALT yet. The rocket is red with…   Read more»

Let’s hope that this wasn’t yours that I saw and that yours floated down and is just waiting for you to find it…..

Don’t feel bad – that rocket of mine that was out on the prairie for 16 months had 2 brand new altimeters in it. Hell, right now there is a bird out on the prairie from my 2006 SSS attempt…   Read more»

This is my second rocket to suffer a recovery failure. The first one was a Bull Puppy and the debris pile was’nt more than 1 square foot. I was amazed we found it. I was glad to hear from Greg…   Read more»

I’m getting attached to the little buggers, It would drive me nuts to loose one. I can’t even let the little Estes ones go.If I’m back from working in KS by April launch, I’ll help you look for it.Greg

I lost a bird – a stretched dual deploy PML Callisto, out at the North Site in early July 2004. Me, my wife, Joe Hinton, Bill Beggs and Bob Messner probably put in a total of 50 hours wandering around…   Read more»

Thanks Greg,I did not go as far as the road in my search. Thanks for the info. Its like a lost family memeber, you just cant’ give up until you know what happened to them.John

John,I watched two different birds lawn dart to the South of the pad, one was a red rocket. Everyone was looking up and I told several people I saw it go down. But, I was on my way to the…   Read more»

OK. If I can’t make that launch, I’ll get it to you before then, since we’re both in Wrongmont.Ken

The PML, the blue tape and the RR G80 all match the one I lost. Other than that there aren’t any other identifying marks. If you think about it, bring it to the April launch and I’ll get it from…   Read more»

If its any help in narrowing down ownership, it seemed very fresh. The masking tape was not weathered at all and peeled off clean, still sticky.Oh, and it’s PML.Ken

Actually, I believe it’s mine. I lost one in January at the Atlas site.

Could be Cliff’s. He flew a Roadrunner G80.Warren
