Bruce,First a debt of gratitude. You did it. I found John’s argument interesting, re a full card vs an event or two, but when all is said and done, I think we need a full card, so as to attract…   Read more»

Spot Landing (impulse

Bruce,Thanks for the refresher course in recent history. Open sounds fine to me. Either G event is fine, but superroc tends to have much greater entertainment value, and is slated for NARAM. Plus there are preliminary plans to fly another…   Read more»

John, a glider event sounds great, if enough NCR members will compete, though we’ll have a lot of CRASH members competing with us. Personally, the NARAM-11 national trophy I won in ’69 was Sparrow Booster Glider. As far as the…   Read more»

Bruce,I’m a little asea here. I’m all for doing something, anything. And to be honest, there have been so many different suggestions at various times, I have lost track. So wjhether regional or open, I’d like to fly G supernoodle…   Read more»

I’m getting further INTO the hobby, so please send me a list of what you’ve got. I just ordered my parts for my L1 rocket for Christmas, so this would just be a bonus!What motor casings?Which altimeter?etc. etc. etc.Thanks,-Ken

Do you have Pictures of all the stuff. beings this is your first post here more info would be better.

James,A nest would make grinding the airfoils a lot easier, no doubt. And cheap, perfect crating material to boot. It all comes down to what you trust–I have done FRP reinforced balsa. I was very, very impressed by the strength/wt…   Read more»

the thing about hot wire is you also get a negative to nest the fin in when pressing or what ever. I also have seen just pink or blue foam with carbon and FG with no spar through the wall…   Read more»

Warren,Thanks, I don’t know why i can’t overcome my resistance to hot wire cutting–looks simple enuf, just a variable d/c supply with running thru some heavy nichrome right? Want the wire a dusky red. And its not like this is…   Read more»

I’ve done several projects with multilayer, multiple fabric on honeycomb and on balsa. Most vacuum bagged, a couple pressed between sheets of 3/4″ particle board with my car parked on top. Works great.For your app, I’d make the cores out…   Read more»

I have done several projects by vacuum bagging the fins. But I have yet to do balsa or double wedge shaped. I usually start with a foam or honeycomb composite to start with and then vacuum bag more carbon and…   Read more»
