I’m about halfway between Longmont and Lafayette off of Hwy 287. Let me know if you’d like another opinion. (remember, free advice is worth what you paid for it :))Ed

Hi Ken,Sorry I didn’t see your post sooner – don’t know how I missed it, but I did. Sometime this weekend should be very doable. Where are you located, and when would be a good time for you?Ken

I remember it. Very nice! Wish I would have gotten a photo of it. Any chance we can hook up one evening this week or sometime this weekend for a few minutes?

I sure did. I was the red Intruder with the J350 and dual deploy.

Thanks Ken. Did you get your L2 on Saturday at Hartsel. Watched a couple of cert flights. Don’t know if one was yours or not.

Hi Ken,I’m up in Longmont. I’d be glad to take a look.

Well I am up in the Fort collins/Wellington Area. If you cant find anyone please feel free to give me a shout and I would be glad to help.Conway

I’ve paid forward before, and I’m grateful to have it come back. I still owe ya though. 🙂 I’ll bring the cordless drill and have the spots all marked out. Thanks again!

Anytime I can help I am glad to. Thats what the hobby is about. Keep your money none will be needed. I have one of the largest pletheria’s of fasteners I think anyone should have and dont mind sharing. I…   Read more»

Conway, I’ll take you up on that. 🙂 I’ll have the rocket to a point where I’ll want to align and attach the buttons by the cleaning party or Oktoberfest. I want to use the club’s extreme rail (after I…   Read more»

If you’re not flying off a rail, you are SOL as the stem assembly does not mount to anything elseYou can launch Ratt, Hypertec, SRS or other kinds of hybrids using any rail or rod that NCR has in stock….   Read more»

Depends on how close you get the blast deflector. 🙂 If you don’t want any sooty byproducts (not worse than a skid) just spray a little PAM on the aft end.Edward

I’d love to burn one of your motors Ed, but I do have a question. What do you get in the way of residue on the aft end of the rocket?Warren

The Alpha hardware doesn’t have a screw in attachment point because it would derate the DOT tank. But, if you want a hardpoint I just take 2 pieces of kevlar and tie them each in a loop and loop around…   Read more»

Edward, I had a question for you on the Alpha hardware. One of the things that I see as a real advantage for SRS and RATT is that their hardware has a threaded hole on top of the fwd closure….   Read more»

There might be a slight chance at MHM I’ll have some 54mm SRS hardware for people to try out….Edward

Yes, I think the 54mm K257 would be a lot of fun to try.Almost as fun as a 54/440cc from Alpha!

I hear you. The boogeyman for Elvis has been the HyperTEK L… he told me recently he was 1 out of 4 with that configuration. We’ve had wonderful luck w/ the Ratts and SRS stuff over the years.I have a…   Read more»

You’ve seen more hybrid flights than I have John – that’s for sure. All I know is that all of my Hypertek flights ignited cleanly and flew well. Bill Beggs had several very nice M flights and only one occasion…   Read more»
