I like the booster seperation. Looks like it worked out well. I made several changes because of that and even a second test. That video you see is too “violent” and it blows them off “tail” first. Its suppose to…   Read more»

Conway you have an un named rocket? OMG! That’s unthinkable! How are you going to fill out your flight card?I’m guessing Skyler, ‘Thug’s Secret Decoder Ring’ and ‘I’d rather be doing ballet’ are out. Let us know if we can…   Read more»

High Tension will be going off of Doug Gerrard’s pad or if that doesn’t work out then it will go off of the swing set.

So as to make sure to not clash. What Rail will you guys be using. I will probably use the Extreme.

As of now I am aiming for 10:00am. The earlier the better.

Very Nice flight with high tension.. What time do you plan to let it roar to the sky?.. I know I had set my time to do my L3 cert flight at about 10:30am.. Dang. I still have to come…   Read more»

Photo posted of my Balls project. Was hoping to fly the beast today but weather at Hartsell looked marginal for a 12,000′ flight. Stay tuned. If I get it back in Nevada, hoping to set the field altitude record during…   Read more»

Conway, Doug uses film. Far superior in resolution and quality than video. Check out what he does on his site: http://www.rocketryphotography.com/index.htmlDoug, my L3 project is the first relatively large rocket I’ve built (building), 30-40 pounds, 5″ x 12′, like your…   Read more»

5 pounds each? And I was worried about my whole rocket aft end being 10 pounds! Your camera must be heavy enough to keep it stable. Hey, it’s 12.5 ms, not 12. 🙂 With those healthy fins, a VERY slight…   Read more»

Doug I am just starting to get into the whole video/photgraphy rocketry thing myself. I look foreward to getting the chance to see your work and maybe learning a few tricks. Inherantly I am terrible at personally running a video…   Read more»

Yes, but in slow motion they are staggered very slightly. It took 5 frames from first to last at 400 frames per second so about 12 msec but i’m not complaining. Hell, I’m happy if they come off period. I…   Read more»

Man, those break away clean! 8)

Doug, hope you get that link to work. I’m really interested to see how that looks visually when the strap-on’s fall free. That is one well-built rocket.

Good to hear from you Warren. and yea… you must have one heck of a wireless net connection and a waterproof laptop to.. Thanks for the input. In fact I have some questions for you when you have time and…   Read more»
