Thanks MikeYou have a nice web site by the way.Scotte

The resin that Home Depot sells is polyester based not epoxy based. It will easily crack and chip under the stresses of rocket flights and landings. Phenolic tubing is also brittle in its own right but still usable without glassing.Epoxy…   Read more»

Adrian was right!!!That black ice this morning was Scary!!! (the slight drizzle wasnt freezing till it hit the road) What was even more scary, was after I figured out it was there!!! Some of the people coming head on in…   Read more»

Sounds like it was good that I didn’t come out today – I still ended up freezing the nuggets most of the way off by wandering around on my roof trying to find a place to mount a 15′ mast…   Read more»

If it is any consolation, the weather is worse here :-O Sorry you had a tough day, Adrian. No rockets launched anywhere near here today 🙁 My wife has a whole new appreciation for Colorado winters now that she has…   Read more»

I’ll be there tomorrow, and I’ll bring some Parrots.

Bret, a LEUP with storage. Tim, been checking out the weather. You made the right choice.

Scott,I have a J350 and case available if you need one, but I will not be at the launch tomorrow. I’d need to get it to you this afternoon.

Dont take any chances Tim, not worth it.Well Bruce you still have that J350 and a case?I dont know, if I dont get that altimeter and 9volt to fit in that small CPR3000 hole I wont be flying anyway. :(Scotte

Right now I have run it off AAs, 9V, and a rechargable RC battery. I am finding that some FRS radios have a built in battery charge on the mic input line. Since I am just using a VOX mode…   Read more»

I’d certainly be interested. I have a much greater fear of losing a rocket than destroying one.A long-range “here I am” call without HAM licensing would be sweet. I’ve been avoiding the temptation to join the 1 and 2 mile…   Read more»
