I will totally dispute what John Wilke (IFlyRockets) says about RATT versus Hypertek motors. WarrenI have seen exactly zero RATTs or SkyRippers fail to fly over the last 2-3 years. I can immediately think of *four* HyperTEKS that did not…   Read more»

I think most of the GSE was re-wired/plumbed by Dale in June or July of last year. Is is designed to run Both the Ratt/SRS and HyperTEK setups. There is just more connections to make for the HyperTEK.I have to…   Read more»

Edward, there have been a lot of RATT boosts at NCR. Much better batting average w/ RATT vs. HyperTEK, too…JW

Well the RATT system isnt to bad to set up to my knowledge but the hypertek is a pain. My dad and I tried to figure out the hypertek at but no joy.

I like the idea–a sticky for content of value to all levels, and an FAQ link.J

James is it right now. In fact he is doing mine. Bruce. You actually only need 1 L3cc member and then on flight day you will have to have either a L2 or L3 flyer to also do the run…   Read more»

That’s great idea. Wonder if Art, Troy and Joe would part with the Event Horizon so it can hang from the Westminster’s Hobbytown USA’s ceiling? It would definitely draw attention, plus probably bring the roof down. 🙂 I buy a…   Read more»

Bruce,It makes me wonder if there shouldn’t be a stickied heading called “pearls” as in short for pearls of wisdom. In medicine we are always on the lookout for such, and the right one at the right time can be…   Read more»

Quickburst is good, and what I’ll use EVENTUALLY for L3: http://www.quickburst.net/igniters.htmFor rockets under 3″ in diameter, I use Pratt’s WEC: http://www.pratthobbies.com/products.asp?cat=1Denverdoc had some really good advice. Always, ALWAYS check continuity and ohms for the igniters. I carry a volt/ohm meter…   Read more»

Duh, sorry I didn’t make the connection–sometimes these avatars are a pain–kept asking anyone know who xman is, never having looked at the signature before heading out to hartsel.John

John, thanks. I actually received my shipment from quickburst on the 21st, so I have plenty now. Decided not to do the DD thing at Hartsel due to my H cato. Wasn’t feeling to confident after that. It will fly…   Read more»

Xman.I must have missed you at Hartsel, had half a dozen prewired cannisters for you, maybe i can mail them.J

denverdoc, thanks. John Bixler is sending up 10 to Hartsel. It should be enough, but I still need to ground test using the altimeter. I ordered 20 through Quickburst, but I don’t think I’ll get them by Friday afternoon. If…   Read more»
