Not to trump you, boys — but we have a -8 Iridium flare scheduled for the BALLS launch at Black Rock…. I can’t wait. I’m sitting in DIA now, headed for Reno later tonight.I’m hoping to eke into the 5…   Read more»

I haven’t got out my scope in awhile (8″ cass) so if there is interest and the skies are forecast to be clear I can bring it up. There is some great stuff to see this time of year…

Oktober skies are about the optimum for this galactic peeper. Way Kool!!!

Looks like there will be a good ISS pass as well.05 Oct -2.1 1946 10 WSW 1937 65 NW 1949 30 NE

Thanks Conway, Yes, I’ll be here on Sunday, at least part of the day. I could always put it up in Little Freeze Frame and film it in flight. Art and I are discussing trying another drag race between Little…   Read more»

Doug,I just wanted to point out that I very glad to hear you focus (pardon the pun) on the cert flights.I VERY much appreciate you shooting mine and having some incredibly cool film to remember the event.

Thanks everyone, there were a lot more interest than I expected. Scott Harlow (sp?) is attempting his level 3 so I chose his rocket. I like filming the certification flights and I’m doing Justin’s as well. Both are expected to…   Read more»

How about my EMRR ’07 racer? It’s only 4″ diam with a G or H motor and I need the 1010 rail, …..but (now that the paint is nearly done) that it is going to be an absolutely amazingly styled…   Read more»

Doug, Im planning to team up with 2 people(actually more as im bringing a few motors in various size) for flights on Sundays research Day. All of them in my blue formula. One M and one L flight. As well…   Read more»

I have an all carbon fiber bird I’m going to fly on a K185. It has the small rail buttons. I don’t know if that will work with your rail.

Let me see if I can swap out the guides for 1515 guides… I’ll let you know if I can by Sunday night.Warren

That’s one of those little requirements. My rail uses the 1515 rail. I can attach a 1010 rail to the rail but it greatly limits what I can do… (I don’t have a liftoff switch for the smaller rail so…   Read more»

What size rail is it? I have an 8′ x 4″ Yellow and Blue rocket I’ve been planning on flying on an L1300BB. It has rail guides for 1010 rail.Warren

Doug if you still need flights on Sunday morning I plan on flying Sponge Bob Roundpants on an EX M1925 Purple Nurple then air starting four K1346’s Sunrise propellant. I use the inch and a half rail buttons and should…   Read more»

Thanks Mike but I think I’m set. Art is flying one of Conway’s motors in a not so retired rocket. I do look forward to your flight.Doug

Thanks for the info.

Mike, first of all, I would NOT worry about the heat. I think the motor tubes will be just fine. The holes won’t vent very much heat out of there, anyway.I would be concerned about how the 29mm tubes are…   Read more»

A friend of mine works for Ball areospace. I was lucky enough to go visit Ball aerospace and a few satellites. I went there about November of last year and last Wensday they flew a satellite on a Delta 2…   Read more»
