8) I might be way off, but a 30.lb rocket on an M1297 to 12,000+ feet does not seem right. A very nice motor, but only a baby M. Just a thought. 8)

They definitely shouldn’t be that far off.I have used rocksim with great success many times, and trust it for reasonably accurate simulations. However, it is only as good as what you enter into it. Check and make sure everything is…   Read more»

I had always used SpaceCAD myself, and it came close to my L3 altitude. SpaceCAD predicted 8581, and RockSIM 8 predicted 8900 and change. My altitude, IMO, wasn’t properly recorded by the blacksky electronics, which is why for the next…   Read more»

Ive got some Video of some static firing of my blue motors. from J to L powered. Working on an M and N motor as we speak to fire soon. I also believe that Edward has some as well of…   Read more»

Now, you guys are on the right track… sorry, Chris, no static test stand vids or DVD’s here. Have an old Estes or Centuri static test outfit–only good up to C’s without mods, but no vids or DVD’s, and way…   Read more»

Very true. The reason for that offer was simply if a LEUP holding adult were to come too. The laptop + DVD idea is a really good one though – I have several nice LDRS and NCR DVD’s and such…   Read more»

you could also bring video of a static firing or two. If something could go wrong it just might and that would not be a good thing. the other thing to consider is really what is the wow factor on…   Read more»

Motor Demo + Cub Scouts/Boy Scout Camporee = probably not a good thing. Those things are usually packed in tighter than passengers on a discount flight to cancun usually with the added bonus of shall we say “heat sensitive” housing…   Read more»

I am unfortunately won’t be able to make that because I have a prior commitment but wish you the best of luck Nate, sorry I can’t help.As far as the demo thing goes… I would honestly refrain from demonstrating any…   Read more»

I know about that – the only way anything over 62.5g would be tested would be if there was a LEUP holding adult there. Otherwise, it would be a G64 or so (I have a few of those lying around)….   Read more»

Guys be sure to think this through. What you are planning to do is a cool Idea but at the same time you will have to represent not just yourself but the hobby your local clubs and do it LEGALLY….   Read more»

Tuesday 😀

Absolutely. I mean…. no matter where you are on campus, my house is never more than 4 blocks away :PWhen do you move in?

Hmm…Any chance you could drive me down there nate? I’d be willing to, but I won’t have easy access to a car for most of the year (due to parking difficulty and stuff at CU). I might be willing to…   Read more»

I am in a bit of a tight spot in that I have three rooms reserved at Bruno’s for Thur / Fri / Sat, September 27-29. Problem is that Bruno’s does not have the most elaborate reservations system, and I’m…   Read more»

Con,Unfortunately most of my “novel” ideas have been done, but still think it would be a cool technology to develop….Figures it was Pat G who did it. I’ll ask him about it at Balls to see what tricks he used.

John,The color change/multi propellant motor has been done. Only person ive seen do it was Pat G. He did a Amarillo blue to his Super Polish Rojo to his Wayside white. Looked pretty cool. Red white and blue.Ive always been…   Read more»

Con,well thats great to hear you’re keen on research altitude, thats my ultimate interest: designing both rocket and motor. I know we talked some about staging blue to white, I’d like to do both in a single motor–you know, the…   Read more»

Not this year for me. Next year is my plan. To much on my plate at the moment. Got some up comming projects for Club Altitude attempts that are research motors class of M, N, O and P. Im SURE…   Read more»
