Showing my ignorance here - did we change the rules to allow multiple shots in the SSS / SSSS? I wasn't at the meeting last year. Seems to run a bit contrary to the spirit of "Single" Shot Sweepstak...

Yep. Chris got his Cirrus Dart to around 12 kft. A tracker is definitely recommended. That could be a winning shot if my recovery skills haven't improved sufficiently, or if my new 38mm sustainer t...

Has anyone else flown an I600 this year? I didn't see any in the launch logs. Mine didn't qualify as successful, so the prize (at least the $20 I owe to it) may go unclaimed unless somebody puts up...

You bet. I've been wondering how I could fit in two 15+kft altitude shots and help my daughter with her scratch 2-stage LPR rocket, and this would really help. Weather permitting, of course. 2 days...

Jim is a really nice guy, he does the most flawless carbon fiber work I've ever seen, and he has an incredibly detailed tutorial up. If anyone wants to know how a perfectly-finished carbon fiber finc...

On top of the plateau due West from the launch site there are some undulating little valleys that like to hide rockets. Did your search cover that area?

Not everybody needs really high temperature epoxy, but if you do, here's some more info on the Cotronics offerings: Cotronics has a black paste epoxy (4525) that may be related (identical?) to the Pr...

Yeah, it's the Google calendar that says Atlas site. Roger that on the waiver. In that case I'll be flying the I600 (I still owe the pot $20), the I216, or maybe both if the first recovery goes well.

I was checking on the November launch on the calendar, and I noticed that it says it's supposed to be at the Atlas site. That should be the North site, right? With my sustainer intact and with some u...

US Balance US-MAGNUM-1000XR 1000 g x 0.1g Digital Pocket Jewelry Gram Scale I bought it from a seller listed on Amazon for about $25.00 delivered. It measures in grams, ounces, grains, etc. Easy to r...

I think I figured out why my drogue descent rate was 180fps - I was looking over the data, and the charges weren't nearly as energetic as normal. My apogee separation was somewhat delayed, and only re...

I landed 7.28 miles from the flight line. Never once lost signal. It was about 2 inches from where the GPS said it was 8) I'd never have looked within 4 miles of where I landed had I been using a t...

Congratulations, and nice job on recognizing those who helped you. Wish I had been there.

For those of you playing with your own altimeters and flight computers, I came across a VERY interesting altimeter chip today. SPI interface, 16bit, 10-1100 mBar, individually calibrated, integral te...

Keep in mind there will be very little pressure acting on the surgical tubing to cause an increased burn rate. You would probably have to add in a catalyst to the pyro to get the burn rate up. Or st...
