By the way, there was less than a year of life left on the cert on those F32’s when you gave them to me. I believe you gave them to me last May or June and their cert ran out…   Read more»

TRA has had some discussions in both their forums and their email lists regarding loads that had their certifications expired. The general consensus from TRA was that loads – once no longer certified – could not be flown at a…   Read more»

another topic (same lines as above) – “modified closures”. I have used them as they were not precluded by the NCR rules. I’m talking about drilling and tapping a fwd closure for retention, tailcones, etc. I would understand if they…   Read more»

Keep in mind that while the TRA world records cannot be set with motors that have fallen out of cert, the NCR club records most certainly can. I have 2 AT F32’s and 5 G55’s… and there ain’t nothing on…   Read more»

It’s small and cheap for HPR (justification for the wife)CORRECT! Look at all the money you will save by not having a motor retainer OR centering rings! And fins are cheaper too, since you don’t have fin tabs. I can’t…   Read more»

For my part, I’m very confident the TRA “I” record will fall soon. There are several capable flyers in NCR that are looking at it. I always thought that record was untouchable, but now I’m thinking it will get incremented….   Read more»

I’m thinking the 1.525″ Phenolic and a 5:1 from GLR is a good place to start.Recovery:What about dual deploy? I’m assuming that is a must. I have a choice between an RRC2-mini and a Perfectflite Hi-Alt45k to choose from.Conical cones…   Read more»

I say hitch up ‘yer skirt and buy that sucker (old NCR joke for those of you not familiar with the phrase! cross-dressing probably not really a good idea with this group – end of disclaimer).Actually, DON’T buy the PML…   Read more»

False alarm (doh!) Warren has a K-TWO-50. My original query still stands… does anyone have the K350 hardware?Thanks
JW

That K motor was EX and it had a very tiny “web”, meaning the core was just enormous. I think it was barely a K. Just seeing the case was wild. The rocket that it flew in was called “Shockwave”…

My apologies if I overreacted – I’m just a sensitive guy 8)Stepping a wee bit off the track of this thread, has anyone ever flown the redline that goes in the 38/1080 case? That is the same case that the…   Read more»

OK, I’ll report to sensitivity training in a bit 😐 the idea of cooling in minimum diameter rockets is pretty interesting… that is all I have flown redlines in.I’m curious if the K270 has had any issues? Very cool looking…   Read more»

Yikes, something is up there. I’ve never heard of a motor doing that? When you say “blows out the side of the motor” are you saying the motor case actually ruptured? or that gas escaped between the closure and the…   Read more»

I have blown 3 29mm casings out all on redlines…. its kinda annoying when you make the motor correctly and then it blows out the side of the motor right near the aft closure 3 times and with 3 different…   Read more»

I’ll buy the H268 from you if that casing cleaning thing continues to overwhelm 🙂 Just curious, can you tell by looking which closure they need?

Thanks – I’ll get w/ Tim T. and see if he has any? There is a chance that what he has in stock is sized to the older nozzle?JW

This item has been SOLD… thanks for the inquiries– JW

BTW, this project is called Double Feature named by John Wilke. Glad I could help 8) I’ll get out of your way now.This is probably the most complex rocket I’ve ever seen attempted? I feel like a total hack when…   Read more»

Doug, that is beyond amazing. Two questions:a.) how did you discern the pattern for cutting the tapered holes into the bigger tube? I assume this mathmatically derived… I’m just curious how you even begin to derive the pattern for where…   Read more»

Adrian, John has -some would say perhaps for too long – held an utter lock on club altitude records. WarrenActually, there are now many capable guys wading into the competitive end of the pool and I’m sure some of those…   Read more»
