My L3 cert is getting primed and painted this week. and then thats it. Ive ground tested and all. just tie up the small stuff is all. I will be ready and so will my daughter.

Double checking my dual deployment(s)… I just love the smell of spent black powder. 😀

I’m frantically finishing up my deuce – the fins just went on last night, get filleted tonight, then get tip to tip reinforcement during the week. The e-bay is close to finished as well, and it should get the wiring…   Read more»

If previous history is any indication, the launch trailer and equipment will show up by noon on Thursday and setup will be done that afternoon, weather permitting.I’m not personally towing the trailer so I can’t guarantee this and with myself…   Read more»

Chris,I can help you out. Send me a PM or email.Edthedawsons@qwest.net

As far as air-starts, ask Justin Freeberg’s advice. He does it perfectly everytime.

Mike,In my limited experience actually doing an airstart, I’d recommend one of Missileworks Pet2 timers. I don’t know what you’re flying but I’d connect that to the business end of a Cessaroni motor. Those things light if you look at…   Read more»

Nope – requires too much current. I’m sure you will be able to get some e-matches on site, though that eliminates any testing beforehand…

First Fire?With others not being available.

An RRC2X won’t help you for airstarts as it is purely a deployment altimeter. It will fire a charge at apogee and then again at a programmable altitude lower than apogee. The outputs of an RRC2X will fire e-matches, but…   Read more»

I make my own parachutes as well, and one of the best cords for smaller chutes is Kite string. Not your normal stuff, but the kind used for stunt kites, sometimes hobby town has it, but it is available on…   Read more»

I have one as well that you’re more than welcome to borrow at any launch.I’ve flow both the I405 and the I110, they’re both great little motors. The I110 should be great for an icarus shot. 🙂

Not for Octoberfest sadly im not going to fly. I need for a special contest ( I SHALL NOT TELL ). Meh what the heck im using it for my icarus rocket and i dont know when i need it….   Read more»

What day?I have one (and it’s already loaded too :))Just give me a replacement I110, and you can borrow it. I can adjust the delay or take out the ejec. charge if you want.Would this be at oktoberfest?

Just a side note…. Be careful on how much Beer you bring to the party. The standing rule at the Netherton household is that no beer leaves the property. If you have too much you won’t be leaving either.Also during…   Read more»

Thank you alot guys. I know now alot more 😀

Kyle,The file focuses on G10 and plywood, not on composites. The guy who setup the spreadsheet was getting to composites (2001), but evidently never got any further. You look for the Flutter Velocity (when the fins begin to flutter), multiply…   Read more»

John with your H record you did at heartsal were you hitting mach 2 ? Nope… that was quite a blast, but IIRC the sims said something like 1200mph. That said, to my eye that boost looked faster than my…   Read more»

Kyle I would agree whole heartedly with john. Ive been away for 3 years but even then you were doing great things and as with time and experince i can only belive that youve gotten better and better. Wilke is…   Read more»

Kyle, sorry I didn’t respond sooner about the spreadsheet. I’ll take another look at it at work tomorrow. Haven’t looked at it in quite a while. Listen to JW and Conway, and you’ll be good. 🙂
