Anyone know if Tim plans to be there? I am running painfully low on fun reloads.

So for my ejection charge holders I just used a 1″ copper end cap with a hole drilled in the side for the e-match to go into. I assume that is a pretty standard way of doing it. SO what…   Read more»

So I was just making sure I have all my appropriate membership cards/certifications with me for MHM, and I discovered my NCR memebrship just expired. Who is in charge of membership renewals these days?

Guys, I am kinda stumped on how to secure my altimeter in my SSSS bird. I have a MAWD, so it’s plenty small. I usually just use rivets to hold my altimeter bay into one section of the airframe for…   Read more»

Actually, I have no idea if it was really our first, but how’d it go yesterday? I couldn’t do both days since I’m saving up my hall passes for MHM. Hope you guys had the same great weather with a…   Read more»

I am planning to fly an AMW K555SK at MHM this year. I have never flown an AMW motor, and I don’t like not being familiar with an motor before trying to assemble it. Unfortunately, since I do not have…   Read more»

Does anyone have a tracking device that I could borrow for my SSSS entry on either Saturday or Sunday of MHM? If so, I was wondering how big the component that goes inside the rocket is and how it is…   Read more»

I built a LOC Starburst that is finally ready to fly, and I’m hoping to try it out at the April launch. I have never flown cluster and I’m not sure what safety precautions, if any, are appropriate to consider…   Read more»

I know there are varying opinions on this so lets hear em. I have exactly ZERO experience with dual deploy. My goal for MHM is to have my L2 rocket converted for a DD flight. I bought a Missleworks RRC2…   Read more»

Do we have NCR or Mile High Mayhem T-shirts or hats?

Where do you guys get good switches for electronics? I went by radio shack but they don’t have anything without a protruding switch lever of some sort. I was thinking of some type of Key switch or something like the…   Read more»

Please post opinions/experiences with this altimeter here. This is what I am leaning towards for my SSSS bird. I have great confidence in the durability of the unit after watching John Wilke chisel one out of his lawndarted SSS entry…   Read more»

OK, so my brain has been on overdrive ever since the meeting ended on Saturday, and I have some questions/concerns that maybe some of you experienced altitude guys can help me with. First off, I have never flown an altitude…   Read more»

I bought myself a RRC2x from Jim at MHM. 😀 I’ve read a bunch about building altimeter bays and DD setups, but if any of you have installations you are especially proud of and could bring them up on June…   Read more»

Is it just me or does June 10th seem like FOREVER away still?

Can someone enlighten me as to the basic differences between NAR and Tripoli? I have heard that Tripoli supports experimental type rocketry, but other than that, is there a big difference? I have always been a NAR member just because…   Read more»

I’ve called all the sporting goods and gun shops around here in Littleton and none of them carry BP. Anyone know where a place to get it is?

For my L2 flight I will be using a J350 (big surprise ). In the past, I have always used motor ejection, and will be for this flight as well. My question is, can I assume the BP charge…   Read more»

How do you choose one? I’ve never used one and so it’s kinda hard to decide what is important and what isn’t. I’m not looking for alot of bells and whistles, but something that will reliably function for my first…   Read more»

The name is an acronym from the first names of my wife, 2 daughters and my son (a 7 year old yellow labrador 😀 ) Just thought I’d get that out of the way since it looks to be spelled…   Read more»
