Thanks, guys, it sounds to me like I should hold off on dual deploy for a little while – sounds like fun, but complicated and lots of hardware required – can’t really afford to do all that at once (rocket…   Read more»

I’d be glad to show you what I do for dual deploy. It is one of those things that is easier to show you than explain to you, if you know what I mean. If you are up near Ft….   Read more»

For the record, Ken nailed it perfectly on his L2 flight. He knows. Take a look at avionic’s bays (ebays) at MHM. There isn’t anyone who won’t show you the way they do it. Now you’re stepping into the area…   Read more»

There is alot of room for mistakes, but with a good design, sound planning (ground testing, etc) and a little bit of nerve for your first flight, it’s fairly easy and really fun to do. And don’t forget all of…   Read more»

I think it is a natural transition in Rocketry. Wise I think to get a fewflights out of the way first.I will be flying my first at MHM. I am confident that I have studied,and asked enough questions on this…   Read more»

Thanks, Brett, that’s what I was afriad of – sounds like a lot of room for mistakes and lost rockets. Seems like a newbie like me should keep it simple a little longer. What do you think?

Hey Greg. Typically, Dual Deploy refers to a recovery setup where there is an event at apogee, which seperates the rocket into 2 parts (still connected by some type of harness) and may or may not deploy some type of…   Read more»

Great report… sorry about the bird… remind me to tell you about how I found a borrowed transmitter without the rocket and without an antenna someday… and Kyle, you really need to work on your punctuation, spelling and grammar. Good…   Read more»

The day was ok. The weather was a bit better with less wind at times. I was not able to fly but I did get in a couple of static tests in prep for MHM’s research day. My Purple Nurple…   Read more»

New Idea With Out Piston Ejection. Very Rough Drawing.www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5902138

The only problem with this design is that it scorches the inside of the coupler. I usually coat the inside with a mixture of west systems epoxy and powdered graphite. (Very messy)Try furnace or grill black paint. I think Rustoleum…   Read more»

I have made a few small two stage rockets and used a number of methods of igniting the sustainer. The two stage rocket I am building for MHM uses a system I built into a transition that couples the first…   Read more»

That seems like a very unique system to me. But on the other hand it seems very tough. There a couple of ways you can do it…… 1. Have a igniter from the booster to light the sustainer and have…   Read more»

I don’t recognize the guy in the black jacket. Must have ridden down with James. :)D2

In about two months we’ll be flying out of DIA on vacation – I’ll be sure to look for it.

Just look up, Chris! 🙂

In about two months we’ll be flying out of DIA on vacation – I’ll be sure to look for it.Congrats 8)

The Event Horizon will be at DIA for 6 months.And BIG thanks to James, David, Conway for the help at X-Prize and at DIATroy

I would like to say thanks To Art, Joe and Troy for letting Dave, James and Myself being a part of this night at the airport as well as a part of the Event Horizon experience as part of the…   Read more»

Here is a Picture for all to check out of us at the Airport after we got it in place. This is the team that went to New Mexico to represent at Xprize cup.I do recommend if you are at…   Read more»
