What size rail is it? I have an 8' x 4" Yellow and Blue rocket I've been planning on flying on an L1300BB. It has rail guides for 1010 rail.

That's one of those little requirements. My rail uses the 1515 rail. I can attach a 1010 rail to the rail but it greatly limits what I can do... (I don't have a liftoff switch for the smaller rail so that eliminates the tracking...)

Doug

Let me see if I can swap out the guides for 1515 guides... I'll let you know if I can by Sunday night.

I have an all carbon fiber bird I'm going to fly on a K185. It has the small rail buttons. I don't know if that will work with your rail.

Doug, Im planning to team up with 2 people(actually more as im bringing a few motors in various size) for flights on Sundays research Day. All of them in my blue formula. One M and one L flight. As well as some K and J motors to.

How about my EMRR '07 racer? It's only 4" diam with a G or H motor and I need the 1010 rail, .....but (now that the paint is nearly done) that it is going to be an absolutely amazingly styled rocket, complete with windshield, smiling "Captain Electric", racing stripes, and a cool retro look. At ~45oz on a G, or more on an H, I can also guarantee that it would be a very very slow liftoff. Rocksim says 5.4 g's on a G64. If you haven't seen it, a build thread on this is at http://rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?t=37255

I don't know which way your camera faces but "Captain Electric" or whatever we name him will be seated with his butt toward the rail and his head outward.

Thanks everyone, there were a lot more interest than I expected. Scott Harlow (sp?) is attempting his level 3 so I chose his rocket. I like filming the certification flights and I'm doing Justin's as well. Both are expected to fly on Saturday. I have some new cameras and therefore new camera mounts to get different views.

I do have movies to show Friday night but it will be kind of a short clip this time (about 15 or 20 minutes). They are from one flight at MHM (Ed's level 3 flight) and three more from the make up session in June. There is the two attempts at the drag race between BDCR and BAMF and Ed's Saturn V flight. Oh yea, Conway's flight on his home made N redline motor...

Very cool Doug. BTW its Scott Harless. But I know who you meant. No worries. Hey Doug, You staying for research day? If you have something to fly bring it. I have a K motor for you to burn. That is if you want. So what Time does movies start? I may not be able to camp out. But would love to come for Movie time with my daughter.

Doug,

I just wanted to point out that I very glad to hear you focus (pardon the pun) on the cert flights.

I VERY much appreciate you shooting mine and having some incredibly cool film to remember the event.

Thanks Conway, Yes, I'll be here on Sunday, at least part of the day. I could always put it up in Little Freeze Frame and film it in flight. Art and I are discussing trying another drag race between Little Freeze Frame (w/o boosters) and BAMF again. I'll send you a pm. Thanks!

The movie start "after it gets dark", sort of when everyone gets ready after eating diner and it's dark enough. It should be worth the wait.

Doug

Doug if you still need flights on Sunday morning I plan on flying Sponge Bob Roundpants on an EX M1925 Purple Nurple then air starting four K1346's Sunrise propellant. I use the inch and a half rail buttons and should be a great flight.

Thanks Mike but I think I'm set. Art is flying one of Conway's motors in a not so retired rocket. I do look forward to your flight.

Doug
