it’s May2-4, and I’m gonna miss it for the first time since I joined NCR too. I have a family obligation that weekend that I can’t miss. I am SO bummed.

I have no idea what all that meant, but it sounds very cool! Good luck with the development Warren.

Wow. Nice shots Ray. And some very impressive representation by NCR too!

Will there be a vote for getting the Hot Dog guy back at the launches?

I’ll give it a try for sure. I use a 10oz glass aerosleeve sock with West Systems on all my cardboard or phenolic airframes any more just to improve durability. I’m anxious to see these tubes compared to mine. I’ll…   Read more»

I agree with Conway here. I make my own ignitirs, using the Magnelite pyrogen and CAT 5 wires with 26ga nichrome. They work great, but I wouldn’t touch ematches. Reliability is to critical and the commercially available ones have been…   Read more»

Thanks for the heads up Tim. I’m out of HPR motors so it would have been a bummer to go up and have you not be there. I’ll just take the $50 of gas I would have used and put…   Read more»

I have never had one fail, but I won’t be replacing any of my kevlar harnesses until they either fail or show visible signs of deterioration. Aside from some kind of mechanical damage (ie being cut on some other object),…   Read more»

I think you are right on target on both counts. I use the long side of the range you mentioned with Kevlar, because really doesn’t have much “give” at all.The other thing to remember when discussing zippers is the width…   Read more»

sweet. can’t wait to see it, although i may have to as i am not sure how bad i want to drive up to the atlas site if it’s really gonna be snowing. i’ll be watching the weather report.

favorite huh? i’ll trade you one for your beautiful L3 bird

well at least you got a refund. kinda odd that they are sending shipping notices if nothing is being shipped. it surprises me too, they were really responsive when they first started up.

You heard anything further Ed? Their website now says they are closed, and I’m still waiting on an order from almost a month ago that I have recieved shipping notices on twice, but nothing has ever showed up.

That’s good. I wonder why they don’t have anything listed on their layup materials page anymore? I did send them an email, hopefully they will respond.

I have built 2 hawk mountain airframed kits and the quality was exceptional. They are AMAZINGLY strong and everything fit beautifully. I have no experience with PR stuff.

Then how am i gonna get my cookie?

Sounds great Conway. I look forward to flying some Loki’s.

Thanks for the update and all the hard work Warren. I love this site. It sorta gets me my rocket fix between launches 😀

Thanks Warren. I think it’ll be a good thing.
