The flight I launched on Sunday of Oktoberfest, that Mike found and gave to me yesterday, went 8241 feet, based on the standard atmosphere. Accounting for the ambient temperature at the time, it real...

Mike, I saw someone in the distance due East of the pads. Was that you? Chad now believes, (based on an impressive use of balloon sounding data) that my rocket should have landed 2300' E and 7200' ...

Mike, Thanks for bringing the rocket by and dropping it off on that car hood (yours?) where I could find it. Hope you weren't put off by the fact that we parked further North up the road to be a lit...

If that is a 24mm rocket (hard to tell?) and if it was calm (I wasn't there) and if it landed 3 miles away? Then that was a MONSTER boost, record or not! The picture is of a 24mm booster, built around...

Sweet! That's my booster that I flew as a single stage on Sunday after my sustainer failed to ignite on Saturday. It looks like the altimeter and transmitter broke off or something, though. 🙁 But i...

I'll be happy to head out to the North Site and help you look, and maybe you could throw a few rocket design technique bones my way. Chad, that's a very generous offer. I wasn't sure I was going to g...

THANK YOU very much Adrian!!! You're welcome, Doug. Those booster attach fittings were really interesting. I couldn't figure out how they worked. Adrian,What day and time were your launches? I ask b...

Your found item sounds like one of the boosters for Doug Gerrard's Freeze Frame. Ken Anyone find my Wacky Wiggler yet? Yep. It was back at the LCO table on Sunday afternoon.

It is Doug's, I have it now and will see that he gets it. any idea were you found it? Go to maps.google.com and in the entry box for "search maps" type in "doug's booster.". I'd post the link here dir...

Lost: 24mm carbon rocket with a 9" yellow-green fluorescent chute. Altimeter probably recorded new Tripoli G record. The flight was nearly vertical, probably around 9000 feet, and the wind was arou...

I needed a small amount of lead shot, and I also didn't want to buy a huge bag of it, so I bought a box of shotgun shells and cut them open. Then I learned about tungsten powder and that's what I use...

Here's an update on my little 2-stage 24mm rocket: I'll fly it with an F28-E6 combination on Saturday, which could go 9k-10k. Then if I haven't lost it yet, I'll put a bigger motor in it, G37-E6, whi...

If I can get it done and sufficiently tested, I'm going for the G staged record with a G37 to E6 rocket. See for more info. When I was planning smaller fins it simmed to 15kft. Now it's more in th...

I'm planning to be there at Octoberfest. I'll help you set up Jim Yelle's download program. I also have some formulas you can use in Excel to remove the extra lines; I was just hoping to get you a ...

Having "Append line feeds to incoming line ends" selected could be the problem. Try de-selecting that and let me know if that fixes it.
