I have both a 15 and a 50 that you could mess with…I have to agree with conway on this as well – the 30 would be the best choice for this.

How expensive?The kevlar I’ve seen (at CST) is around $20-$25/yd for some quite high quality stuff. If it was much more than that, it’s WAY too expensive for kevlar…

http://www.cstsales.com has just about anything you could want.The 10.9oz CF is especially nice (though expensive).

Normally I’d agree, but that motor is a relatively low thrust F…It’s roughly equivalent to a D12 as far as initial kick goes.

Only a 1/8″ rod?I don’t think we have one that long…On the other hand, that motor has quite a thrust spike – are you sure you need that much rod? I wouldn’t think it would take that much with that…   Read more»

Ed: I have one that’s good for 75lb with a 1/2 oz accuracy…I could run it down sometime this week if it’s adequate…

Morning or afternoon though?I’ll need the closures in the morning, though I can loan you the case. By afternoon, I can loan you the whole thing…

I have a Rouse 54/2560 that you might be able to borrow…When would you need it?

I look forward to seeing that fly…I missed it at the last launch because of searching for my darn small endeavor, so it should be awesome (not to mention on the slightly harder hitting motor this time).

You have my casing and nozzle for the I110, so that’s up to you 🙂

I’ll bring mine up…Awesome motor, BTW

Yeah, that is pushing it a bit.In that case, I’d go for a 3/8″ rod. I’ve flown up to a hard hitting I motor off that, and I would probably trust a J. It should work fine for that rocket,…   Read more»

Why does it prevent the use of rail buttons?Is it too small for the rail to go between the body tube and the ring fin?If so, what size motor mount are you using? This is how I would determine whether…   Read more»

You want them to be in parallel actually…If they are in series, when one goes, it breaks the circuit. This results in you having a very bad day.

In about two months we’ll be flying out of DIA on vacation – I’ll be sure to look for it.Congrats 8)

My dad will have his endeavour converted for dd by then – it’s 6.5lbs right now – probably more like 7 after the dd conversion. He could definitely fly that.What does the most recent data on the J show?

This sounds like a lot of fun.Time to start building – I have a lot of ideas to try 😀

For dual deploy, I would go with a Rocket Rage RRQS15 as a main. It’s rated for 15lbs, so it’ll come in soft, but that’s my preference for dual. For single, a 54″-72″ parachute would be great (it’ll float quite…   Read more»

Paint?What is this paint you speak of

I’m still waiting for my (backordered, of course) components to come in (especially some fabric)…I’ll fly before Oktoberfest though. No November flight for me this year
