Not to squash a great idea but if yu’d play with the website just a little, you see that under weblinks we do have a list of vendors that have been in our corner from the start. At least most…   Read more»

Holy Boosters, Batman! This really IS a good idea. Warren?

Great idea Ken!Art

The ISS was magnitude -2.1 and and the shuttle was about a 0.0 or so. Definitely worth getting up for….

Wow, that’s bright! Could you see them waving atcha?

But wait a minute, John, this is manned space travel… hee, hee… :)I treated it like a daytime Iridium flare 🙂 BTW, I saw the ISS and the shuttle go over yesterday at 5:30AM (ish). The ISS was magnitude -2.1…   Read more»

When living in So. Cal., I remember the double BAM-BAM as it would fly over occasionally to land at Edwards. Even though it was in earthquake country, kinda reassuring to know it got down okay. 8) But wait a minute,…   Read more»

Way jealous right now John! You have no idea, I was so bummed when I saw it was heading for you and not me, no hard feelings though :DI remember just a month or two ago, watching the shuttle and…   Read more»

Saw it! cool…. I was a lot further north than what I would have liked to have been, but my wife and I were able to observe the shuttle…

Been watching it for a few days or so. VERY cool! What’s really neat is that it went from a magnitude 17 to 2 1/2 in just a couple of hours.

I have had good luck with this web site.http://webalt.markworld.com/webalt.htmlIt has been right on with the delay. I fill outeverything except I leave the delay length andchute size blank. I look at the time to max alt.or turn over.I have not…   Read more»

bruce, your charts sound awesome … where do i get a copy?!I got them online a while ago at//www.rocstock.org/wizards/rms-delays_2938.pdfThis link gives you the warnings//rocstock.org/wizards/caveats.htmlFor some reason, I can’t access their 54mm version of rms delays.Here is another one, though not…   Read more»

thanks for all the info guys! if there is one thing i can count on ncr for, it’s broad and deep knowledge of all things rockets, and a willingness to share that knowledge freely!tim you are correct, based on my…   Read more»

8) I too have a Phobos, and I fly it mostly on H motors. I use 10 to 11 seconds for the H. It is almost always dead on. I have flown it on I205’s and use the whole 15…   Read more»

They do vary in length of time as a S,M,L as per the reload. Not all M are the same if I remember correctly. or at one time it was that way.. May be just me showing some age..lol.. They…   Read more»

This is from the AT ’05 catalog:Short=Approx. 6 sec.;Medium=Approx. 10 sec.;Long=Approx. 14 sec.;X-Long=Approx. 18 sec.Whats RDK-13+? FYI, the flight was ~10 sec. to ejection. Does that sound right for the M?So, yes, 10 sec is dead on M. And, probably…   Read more»

S=shortM=mediumL=long

Thanks, Bruce, so I can assume that the L delay is longer than the M? Smehow I would think the opposite! Whats RDK-13+? FYI, the flight was ~10 sec. to ejection. Does that sound right for the M?

So, the question is, with an aerotech motor, how does one increase the ejection charge delay?You get the L delay, from Tim Thomas. Every sim I’ve ever done with the I357 puts the delay way longer than the M. Technically,…   Read more»

With regards to the strange pressure effects on boost, where was/were your vent(s)? That could have a huge effect on the pressure readings…The vents were just ahead of the front edge of the motor, which put them just behind the…   Read more»
