Excellent 🙂 It was great to meet him at LDRS, and it will be great to see him again. I look forward to it.

Rather than a call in, I wonder what CTI's 29mm 3 grain G106 skidmark would look like at night? Hmm. I'm not an expert at the legalities, but I think it's still classified a high power motor. I have...

No L3 on that one - I'll be attempting 3 miles and supersonic velocity in my AMRAAM (probably on Saturday), which will be a flight signed off on by a L3 (since I can't get my L3 on an already built ro...

I'm getting a brand new CTI dual thrust M motor - it has one grain of Vmax and 4 of Imax, IIRC. It should give 1 second at 600lbf, followed by 4 seconds at 250lbf. Should be a lot of fun 😀

I'll take a 48 incher.

It's awesome, yes, but IMHO, it isn't a K700. The 700 just has an incredible roar and flame to it that is hard to match. Of course, the 660 is still a great motor - if I had something to fly it in any...

What kind of shroud line length would they have? I may be interested in one of the 48" models. John: if they're anything like the Rocket Rage, they're kind of a pain to pack, but once you get them pac...

It's definitely not the norm, that's for sure. I had my first CATO larger than a D motor on Saturday. I'm not sure why there were so many failures, but hopefully, the trend will change next month.

You shouldn't have to contact any witnesses beforehand - I know there will be plenty of people (me included) willing to sign off on a L2 at just about any launch. As for the test stuff, I'm not sure. ...

Today (Sunday, 7/12), I lost my Wildman Junior kit out on the prairie. It had a CTI Pro38 4g case in it, it was unpainted glass, and had a red nose cone and a red and white PML 36" chute. It shouldn't...

Tim: will you have any of the Aerotech 38mm forward closures that don't have a delay well ("Endburn Style", or something like that)? Oh, and I'll make sure to bring my 38-29 adapter for the Wildman - ...

What I'd really love is one of these to throw in my AMRAAM: I may even have to get my L3 just for this motor 😀

Excellent 😀 I'll have my Wildman Junior ready, so I'll try some of the 38 H or I motors. I also managed to snag an I59WN longburning boost-sustain (I think that's what Aerotech calls it) motor at LDRS...

Keep in mind that Adrian was assuming that CF could withstand 62,500 pounds per square inch without trouble. That would require near perfect CF work - probably with a high pressure, high temperature c...

Hobby epoxy would work fine if you wanted (15min probably - the 5min cures before it can really soak in, though it won't really soak into the fiberglass at all regardless), although I prefer West Syst...
