And really rough up those G10 fins (as well as the BT) to get good adhesion!

tip to tip is always the way to go BUT you can’t do it on a quantum tube airframe – only on phenolic or composite.Warren

I kind of amazed myself lining up those fins!Ha! Sometimes we do things that even amaze ourselves, huh? Jason, you’re up to L’s… why do I think an L3 is in your future next year?From what everyone has said, this…   Read more»

Well im working feverishly to get my motors all done. And if all goes planned the sky on Sunday will be lit up in Blue…. and filled with loud roars. Ive got a total of 8 actual motors that will…   Read more»

I flew the Cesaroni L730 in my Endeavour at the August NCR launch. It went 11,274. I am planning to do it again at Octoberfest.Ken, you can watch that motor in my rocket, then see if you want to try…   Read more»

I’ve given some casual thought about putting that L1400 in a minimum diameter rocket. Can’t be any worse than a J570 in a 28oz. 38mm rocket? I should simulate that… I think the challenge would be getting it up to…   Read more»

8) Cessaroni has a L330. One took Jasons big End. over 13K 8)

I see some 54mm diameters on some kits saying they can fly up to L’s. I honestly don’t know either. I haven’t checked. Tim would know. It really looks good. A K700 can take a GLR Vertical Assault to 10k….   Read more»

It’s only a 54mm MMT so I can only go so big. Thinking maybe a K550 or a K700 at least from AT. There may be a 54mm motor from another vendor that I haven’t looked at yet.

Ken, that is beautiful work! Uh, how much bigger than a K? 8)

I’ve posted a couple of photos in the Photo Album – “Carbon Diem” (more to come). Thanks to Art and Conway for the tips and advice on both clear coating and composite construction. Can’t wait to fly! First flight will…   Read more»

I believe at Oktoberfest BAMF will see it’s 11th flight … alla Conway Blue formula in a Tag team of Art provides the rocket I provide the power. I wont be flying any of my own birds at OF but…   Read more»

Come to think of it, that was the only time I’ve seen it. My mistake. I’m only going to bring my L3 out once, and that’s for the N drag race with Conway. Then she’ll get cleaned and waxed and…   Read more»

Actually, contrary to popular belief, BAMF is not my L3 bird. BAMF was John Hall’s L3 bird years ago. Johnny flew his L3 flight in it with an old Kosdon M and then left rocketry after also being the prefect…   Read more»

Ken, I’ll create an account for you. Look for a Private Message here on the website with your username/password and then select photo-gallery from the main menu and login. You’ll be able to post as many pics as you want.Warren

Well Bruce, Thats what I say we should do. Lets make it an Official N motor drag race at MHM. We can build you a N2400RR and fly it then. Plus im going to be building my blue formula in…   Read more»
