I’ve used PML rivets to hold ebays in many (many MANY) times. They work great.

Kyle, you absolutely have the skills to take some of these records – I mean that sincerely.Warren – one final clarification – per the other threads, this remains a *SINGLE* shot sweepstakes, correct? You splatter, you lose it, you shred…   Read more»

If a flyer pipes up, he is only hurting his chances at winning. If I were lucky enough to have an astounding flight that had serious bragging rights, the more people I told, the fewer would enter. It would be…   Read more»

One way to add a little drama and still have fresh players coming in after the first flight is to NOT publicly announce the altitude of an SSS or SSSS boost. Participants could fly, have the LCO witness the altitude,…   Read more»

Warren, one thing that has seemingly changed is there is no deadline on the entry. If Ed, for example, strolls out there at MHM and lobs a J350 to 15,000′, there will probably be exactly no one enter after that….   Read more»

I wanted to say THANK YOU to those who cleaned up the equipment so we can fly with spiffy, functional, and safe equipment. This is the first time I’ve missed one of these cleaning parties, so I know it doesn’t…   Read more»

Tim, will Cesaroni introduce some slower-burning stuff? I like AMW hardware and many of their propellants. I’d sure like something that burned a wee bit longer, though…

Tim, thanks for your post. Given the barrage of new motors and all the manufacturers, I wonder if there might (someday) be a list of ALL loads from ALL manufacturers? An Excel sheet that could be downloaded from the website…   Read more»

One really nice thing about that liner material – it makes a FANTASTIC piston for phenolic or LOC airframe, if pistons are your thing. Doesn’t schtick as easily as coupler material, and it seems to be just a tad smaller…   Read more»

Thanks to all who responded on and off line. I think I will go w/ 4 ea. #4 screws. I procured some heavy polystyrene rod, but got to worrying about how things may shrink at 40,000′ MSL (it is c-c-cold…   Read more»

‘Tis not mine – most of “Poetic Justice” was returned to me by Joe Hinton and I don’t use Adept altimeters. It does indeed look like Carl’s – I remember the day he flew that.JW

Ron, if you have the space, etc. to go w/ both sized buttons, you will be glad you did. It is good to have flexibility.In case you have to go with one or the other, I’d go with the bigger…   Read more»

FWIW, about ten? years ago, Black Sky gave away free rails to all clubs who asked for them. This is still when PHITS and TRM (the predecessor clubs to NCR) were in existence. Both PHITS and TRM ordered and received…   Read more»

What I’m getting at is that we seem to be overdoing it, me included.JW, you may be correct, but are any of us willing to take the chance? I will say that a piston strap broke and a ~30# booster…   Read more»

http://www.wicksaircraft.com/catalog/product_cat.php/subid=489/index.html is a good source of Aeropoxy, though I don’t see the “Light” (which is a wonderful filler) there. For that, I went to http://www.aeropoxy.comRegarding using kevlar and carbon and mixing and v-bagging, I’ll say this… I had a booster…   Read more»

Warren, I’ll trace out a template of what I need. I’m going to go tip to tip x 2 for my 98mm minimum diameter project. I will fly it at BALLS ’09. I figure by doing the layup this summer…   Read more»

Thanks, Warren – I had forgotten who had graciously offered to part with some. I appreciate it – I’ll get some more precise measurements, though it looks like about a yard.My first work with carbon went really well – I…   Read more»

Having a transmitter board at MHM is a good idea. (Thanks Greg)Taking it a step further, let’s post what frequencies we’re planning on using in this thread, so that those of us with adjustable frequencies can set theirs up ahead…   Read more»

Most Adept transmitters are mounted in the nosecone. A 38mm 5:1 conical will hold one nicely 😀 there is some interesting geometry when you get into the 29mm stuff. I can show you a typical mounting at MHM.JW

We just watched “2010” again last week. I liked that a lot more than “2001”. Roy Scheider, John Lithgow… great cast. Highly recommended! I was pleasantly surprised at how well the movie aged.
