Greywolves. I friction fit all of my motors in min dia rockets. Here is a link to a 5" P that was friction fitted. Bingo. You have relatively few options for motor retention in a min dia rocket. Ta...

Tony, is the nosecone deployment you're describing for a single apogee deployment, or if it's dual-deployment, how does that work? Thanks. -Adrian

I got a hot-air rework tool a few months ago, and since then I haven't used my soldering iron much. You can squeeze out some solder paste through a syringe, smear it over all the pads, and it will ba...

I use a cheap ($59.00) tile saw with a diamond blade ($20.00) both from Harbor Freight. Works well wet, as I do not like FG dust. I do have a large disk sander to square the edges. I know someone who...

Plasticare might. I have seen a few braided tapes and maybe some sleeves there. But it's not a very complete selection. You could call first. Otherwise, Soller composites is great for mail-order ...

Yeah, the forecast is leaving us high and dry for the rest of the week, with the skies Wednesday through Saturday predicted to be clear, clear, clear and clear.

Yeah, that should work for tracking. It's a scanner, so you're only receiving and not transmitting, but that's o.k. for radio direction finding.

as it flows well. Aeropoxy makes nice fillets. It does take a long time to cure. But I build slowly, taking days to fillet a rocket as I can only do one set of fin fillets per night. It takes about ...

Wow, that's cool. Looking forward to seeing it fly. -Adrian

At a yard sale last year I got one of these Kelty carport shelters, and it held up well at BALLS, when the cold front came through and the wind was whipping at 40+ mph: I'm sure it helped that the ca...

Hey Guys, Here is a google earth comparsion, 2 tracks, lower track=7,401'. High track= 10,868'. Altitudes are from Raven, GPS on this last flight was 400 feet higher. Wish I could share some of the gr...

Yeah, this is a pretty long rocket, and there aren't any full L motors now in 54mm, so I don't think we will break 30k tomorrow even if we hit it with the L930 Imax.
