I think the best space museum out west is probably the one in Alamogordo, New Mexico… Their website is so bizarre in that it shows very few pix of the “rocket garden”. They have a V2, just as it fell…   Read more»

I’m going to fly my L3 rocket on Sunday as well, on a middling-sized N. If the load proves out, I hope to fly it in my minimum diameter rocket at BALLS ’09. I need to slather another layer of…   Read more»

Sounds great, Mike – thanks! looking forward to seeing everyone again. Hopefully we make up for last year’s weather this time?!?

No worries, Mule – everyone (you included) clearly has the club’s best interests at heart. The use of transmitters is indeed a lot more prevalent than it used to be. A smart bunch like NCR will figure it out.For my…   Read more»

Many perspectives to be mindful of here, and many valid points. I will say that there are indeed times we have had issues with multiple transmitters stepping on each other. MHM and other similar launches will amplify that.This gets further…   Read more»

Another issue is that while your bird is down, and you are on the way to find it, you get overrun with the new rocket’s transmission. I have also been between two rockets on the ground and it was tough…   Read more»

I want to echo Warren’s concerns – at BALLS, a fellow launched a P project and half way into the boost, someone turned on another Walston unit. That local transmission stepped all over the P, and 30 minutes later, when…   Read more»

That sounds like an intriguing load… Cost??

OK, I’ll bite – what is the K270? AT or AMW? That sounds pretty intriguing to me………………

My advice, which is worth what you paid for it 😉 is to make sure you have a 54mm motor mount – you can always use an adapter to go smaller. Also, speaking purely for myself, I am NOT a…   Read more»

Depends on the windows 8) or lack thereof 😯

I don’t think anyone is arguing or sniping or rattling anyone else’s cage. I learn a LOT here. It may come across as a bit spirited, but that is OK!See my post at http://www.ncrocketry.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=567&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=45 about 3/4ths of the way down…   Read more»

Now we’re wandering pretty far afield from where this started which was John looking for a 3/8″ eye nut …Yes, my “brother-can-you-spare-a-3/8″-lifing-eye” thread got some legs, but back on topic — I thought of something else regarding the loctite, the…   Read more»

Regarding the whole eyebolts “backing off” issue, I’ll say that this concerned me greatly earlier on. Then one day I was flying minimum diameter everything and I had no other choices. I tried it, and it worked great.I’ve never once…   Read more»

I’m betting most of the time the harness fails before the eyenut.EdwardI concur. Another area that I have had issues with is when I use a Kodson / AMW casing and I anchor directly into the fwd closure. My rocket…   Read more»

Awesome, Bruce – many thanks. Those things are wonderful, I use them on all my rockets anymore. I just don’t have enough to equip two large rockets… I have them in 1/4″, 5/16″, and 3/8″. BTW, the cool kids use…   Read more»

Thanks, Edward – that makes me feel better. My rocket will weigh about 24# loaded x a paltry 20 gees. Should be good-to-go.I have other things I’m worried about for this flight, but at least the ring failure seems to…   Read more»

Adrian, I sent you a PM

I’d like for the first TRA record I break be one other than yours, but the F10 based rockets have been kicking my butt so I wanted to take a break from that.Thanks! (I think 😉 ) I have something…   Read more»

Adrian, by your caption, I assume that you are holding at the C/G (and not just sticking your hand in there for reference?) The G37 sounds like a great load. Is it still being made since Bob Ellis passed away?If…   Read more»
