If that’s the case, I have a design for a 14 motor monster :DSure, it’ll cost an arm and a leg, but hey…

I’ll bring some 29mm cases. I think I only have one of that one, but I might have 2.(I’ll definitely have at least one though).I also have the 29/360 😉 😯

The year expiration states that if you let your membership lapse for more than a year, your cert vanishes. Other than that, it is permanent.

Here’s a more detailed thrust curve//www.rocketryforum.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=411355

No problem at all, and I am looking forward to the flights :DIt should be a lot of fun, as they are really spectacular loads (and the lower cost doesn’t hurt either :))That patriot should MOVE – the I405 hits…   Read more»

True – I was thinking about the I405 nozzle when I wrote that. It’s a hair smaller than the nozzle on the AT H268 IIRC.

1800psi?Wow…The cases are pretty thick though, and the I nozzle is pretty small, so I definitely believe it. They are very noticeable motors, that’s for sure 🙂

Actually, the 38’s if anything are cheaper than AT and CTI comparable loads. They are definitely nice motors – I’ve got all the 38 casings if anyone wants to try them. Hardware is a hair more expensive than AT, but…   Read more»

Honestly, the only time you ever have to worry about overstability is when you fly a rocket on a motor that can barely lift it in high winds. Unless you’re doing that, more than 1 or 2 calibers is just…   Read more»

Hobbytown is out?I was there a couple weeks ago, and they had a bunch of 29mm tubing…

Sounds similar to my BBX, which comes in on a 20″ skyangle and pops a main at 800′. I would say you’re probably fine at 800′, but with that simmed velocity, I would probably go for 1000+, just to be…   Read more»

It really would have…Calm, warm, sunny. Too bad it wasn’t like that yesterday…

I would certainly be up there if I didn’t have another place I had to be…

And I won’t be able to make it to the first launch in 4 months :(Ahh well – hopefully I can make it next month…

I’ll definitely take you up on that offer, as long as I’m not busy when you’re flying 🙂

We’ll see. If someone flies skyripper at Mayhem, I may look on and see what the pad prep involves. I have a rocket that’ll take skyrippers, so if it isn’t too much of a hassle, I would definitely look into…   Read more»

The bigger issue for me is hassle at the pad – if your prefilled motors were easily available, I would fly many more hybrids. And the loaner hardware certainly wouldn’t hurt 🙂

A nice powerful incandescent lightbulb provides more than enough heat for the average oven…That’ll get up to 180-200f pretty easily, and you can use several if one isn’t enough.

Well, I prefer Aerotech, but there’s lots of great motors out there :)All brands of motors are good, and I’ll fly any of them.The rest is mostly personal preference too. I’d vote for Tripoli, but either one is fine if…   Read more»

I will say this: the math (not just in rocksim) I have no doubt though that both the F and G records could be taken with the F10 and G25, though, assuming a near perfect vertical boost..I don’t have my…   Read more»
