The current club altitude record for the G motor is 6383′ and is held by John Wilke. The Tripoli world G record is 7567′ and is held by William Inman.I would expect altitudes in the high 5000’s to be the…   Read more»

That’s what I love about these contests… the challenge…To quote John Wilke.. “Well hike you your skirts and lets go for it boys…”Warren

Oh, please… you guys are killing me… does anyone know what the pot is at this point? Warren?

Warren, from your delay… I am so doomed. 🙂

Agreed.I only need 14.8

Well, actually the G75 is 29mm. Still, it is a long(er) burning full G, rather than the rather small G that the current G80 is (only 100Ns).

That’s why I said 7,000 ft. 6,000 isn’t a fantasy though. Not likely, but possible. In theory anyway, and we both know what that means. I haven’t even looked to see if the G80T came with no delay. Thanks for…   Read more»

Firstly, AT doesn’t make a G80-0. You remove the ejection charge from the well and fill the flash hole with a dollop of 5 minute epoxy or a wad of grease.Secondly – 7000′ is probably a fantasy.Warren

I put 7,000 feet down waiting for someone to say something… it’s a joke… unless someone, or EVERYONE, can do it! I’m doomed! 😕

I know what you mean I have a pretty solid design, which I am extremely confident in for the ascent, but I am a little unsure about finding it after it vanishes off the pad.

Glad you guys set me straight. That certainly makes sense. I was trying to figure out how to lengthen a set delay another few seconds… and figured that couldn’t be right. Just get a 0 delay motor and pop the…   Read more»

You can use an altimeter for deployment and MUST use an altimeter for altitude determination. It must be an unmodified commercial altimeter.What you cannot do on the 2006 Single Shot Sweepstakes is use any kind of radio or audio tracking…   Read more»

That’s not the way I understood it. I think the intent was for altimeters to be used for altitude verification and deployment. We are not allowed sonic or electronic tracking – it needs to be visually tracked (if possible) and/or…   Read more»

Thanks, Dale. Appreciate it.

Bruce, I have your gloves. I will bring them to MHM.Dale.

At Oktoberfest, I noticed that my 40k MWC altimeter was giving me two beeps instead of its usual three, which means that channel 2 is go, but channel 1 is not. I only needed channel 2 for main deploy, so…   Read more»

I use either 22 or 24 gauge stranded wire. It’s flexible and less prone to breaking after numerous bends. You can fold and tin the ends for a solid connection to the terminal blocks on the RRC2. Run the J1…   Read more»

OK. I am getting (RRC2X a switch and a battery holder.from Missle Works)Best wire. To wire this togeather I was considering usingsome wire I found for a Train Hobbyist.What would be suggested?Thanks Mike
