8) A few weeks ago, I had a little (?) private launch here in Delta at the Brown Mud Test Range. There was a a couple of fliers from Telluride there, and they did a trick I have never seen…   Read more»

Ken,I can loan you one 24mm case.Warren

8)Scotte, The last bunch I got came from Hanger 11. I also have bought them from Art Applewhite in Texas, they were great friends. You may send them to my box, PM me. 8)

SOThis Rocket 8) will make all your L-3s look like Brownie projects! Scotte

One question Scotte, Did you bump your head? Or maybe get hit by a car recently? Try eating less paint chips…

No one here deals in them and still up in the air what will happen. As Bob was a sole proprietor, I would believe we have seen the last of his products once they are consumed. But I may be…   Read more»

So what happens if your static hole port is larger than the calculated size. I made mine larger than the calculated value to allow access to the arming switch…. so I’m trying to understand what happens if its too big….   Read more»

0.033″, or a hair over 1/32″.I haven’t drilled it yet, but I have an idea on how big I’d like to make it. I’m curious on what y’all would do? 1/32″ seems pretty small….John I do not have anything under…   Read more»

This is what I told Mike K., it is both frustrating and neat that there isn’t JUST ONE WAY to do things. It’s great and necessary that we welcome new people into the club, with diverse opinions and experiecnes. In…   Read more»

Warren, I don’t think it was me that was there when your altimeter fired on the pad. I believe what you are saying, but I do not recall being there.FWIW, I’m a single-port kinda guy. I keep intricate logs. I’ve…   Read more»

I am also a very firm believer of multiple ports as they do phase alot of induced issues and anomalies out.First I ask if you could print the formula here your using. Depending on what formula you are using from…   Read more»

Personally, for me, one port is good for rockets up to 3″ in diameter, then again what Warrens says happened to him… some altimeters are “twitchy,” some are not. I prefer the ones that are not. BTW, a rocket I’ve…   Read more»

As I recall, you were standing right there with me when my first SSS bird fired on the pad not once, not twice, but three times. It had a single 1/8″ port for a Perfectflight MAWD. A breeze across the…   Read more»

Still well under the upper end specified by Missileworks …..WI’ll confess that I have never seen the upper end specified in Jim’s documents? FWIW, the 3 x 1/16th inch holes are nearly 6X what the formula recommends — though I…   Read more»

I’d do 3 equi-spaced 1/16″ diameter holes. Still well under the upper end specified by Missileworks and definitely big enough to do the job in a 3″ bird with that small a volume.W

Some of your questions have answers that are, to be blunt, undefined.No official contest date was chosen, so the contest runs all year.No current cluster records exist for NCR of any kind. We’re waiting for a new code push on…   Read more»

When is the official contest date. ie, when do we need to have it ready by?What’s the current record?Is there one particular motor we are all supposed to use?How many tries, or models of rockets can we make the attempt…   Read more»

For maximum entertainment value, I say keep it like it is. There is probably a point of diminishing returns. How many D motors can D motors lift? I know it’s been tried in the hundreds. Success or failure… either would…   Read more»

I would agree. Not to be picky but weather you air start with an igniter, or use a moter to do it, its still staged. You could use 5 progresive air starts and go for ever.8OHey I could enter my…   Read more»
