Is this the Lock tubing or what? And how much do you have?

There’s a group on the net that flies from a sod farm. I’m thinking we could perhaps get a good reference from them to encourage a local sod farmer to give us a chance. Anybody know of one?

It does. Thanks

Go to http://www.info-central.org/index_recovery.html and click on “calculators” then “Black Powder”.Use this as a STARTING point. Always ground test. I am frequently surprised at how little or how much bp it may take for a project. I have several projects that…   Read more»

How expensive?The kevlar I’ve seen (at CST) is around $20-$25/yd for some quite high quality stuff. If it was much more than that, it’s WAY too expensive for kevlar…

There aren’t many people better than Kevin over at CRASH for rocket gliders. I really hope he comes up and flies in June. His planes are pretty amazing.Please let me know your source for the batteries. That’s the one component…   Read more»

I have been following your dialogue with Kevin over on Crash, there are no experts here on the topic. I did find a source of 50mAh Ni-cads, however, if youre interested. I’m debating between these and Li-Poly, the latter has…   Read more»

I just ordered one of these and was wondering if anyone had experience building or flying it. What radio your using and any gotchas I need to know about? I’ve never built one of those, and the lightweight RC equipment…   Read more»

8) What I have been told, is that very soon, sometime in the next month there will be news of long burn motors in 54 and 98. The new LBK is ready and along with the 98 moonburners they both…   Read more»
