Hey Joe
Do I get credit in the Pyro War for that M795 ????
Is it in the data base.
I cant click on it like some of the other moters.
😕

Yes, you will, as soon as we get around to updating the motor data base. Awfully hard to keep up with the ever expanding availability of new and not so new motors.

What units is th ap bon fire measured in??

Kilograms

Thanks Joe 😀

You da'man

The AP Bonfire is totally off because I haven't flown the most. Each M900 is a hybrid, with < 50 grams AP in it 🙂

Unfortunately, the old code from the website I took over computes AP bonfire by total propellant weight and not by type of propellant. BP is also added in. We are working on a fix to this as manually tabulating the AP Bonfire is impossible.

I can manually tabulate mine!

3+3x 7 to the 3rd.........
19.58 kilos, there
Just plug that in Warren 🙂

In all seriosness the m795 is 4.892 kilos of propelant
Thats enough to put me in the lead 😀
At least till next month. 🙄

Does anyone have any concerns about thrustcurve.org? As we redo the motor database, I'm using thrustcurve.org as the reference. It appears that JC did a major rework of it this year so I believe it is the best place to pull data from.

I think the thrustcurve.org is probably the best and easiest place to get the data.

As I understand it, thrustcurve.org supports remote queries. Might be interesting to look at the idea of dumping our database completely and using the thrustcurve database. All we need to mine from it are the motor code, manufacturer, total impluse, propellant type and propellant weight.

Yes - that's basically what I'm working on. Someone in the community started putting data at freebase but I think that thrustcurve is still best. Wondered if anyone else knew of something better. JC did add a great service interface to thrustcurve.

As far as I remember, the original small motor data base we had was directly linked to Thrust Curve and when the motor explosion (bad wording) happened, we just couldn't keep up with the new and additional motors everyone was using. The data base got way out of control. The AP Bonfire was and is a cool idea but has become a tickle spot because it does not include weight of research motors or clusters or stages and it only includes the weight of the largest motor used without altering other fields of data (flights) and I'm sure there were or are other complications. But it is still a great idea to have some sort of visible record of what's been burned and by whom. Obviously needs tweaking and what little I know about the backdoor stuff of this webpage operation prevents me from doing much more than I'm already messing up. So, if there is a solution or other method of tracking, let's go for it.
