They definitely shouldn't be that far off. I have used rocksim with great success many times, and trust it for reasonably accurate simulations. However, it is only as good as what you enter into it. C...

Very true. The reason for that offer was simply if a LEUP holding adult were to come too. The laptop + DVD idea is a really good one though - I have several nice LDRS and NCR DVD's and such that I cou...

I know about that - the only way anything over 62.5g would be tested would be if there was a LEUP holding adult there. Otherwise, it would be a G64 or so (I have a few of those lying around). I also h...

Tuesday 😀

Hmm... Any chance you could drive me down there nate? I'd be willing to, but I won't have easy access to a car for most of the year (due to parking difficulty and stuff at CU). I might be willing to p...

I've used PR cones in PML tubes, and they have been a slightly tight fit, but otherwise fine...

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...

I will say this: the math (not just in rocksim) certainly supports the notion that the F10 is about the perfect F altitude motor. The difficulty of course lies in getting a good straight boost through...

Yeah, it's expensive, but I don't need it immediately, and the cost of an extra 2 feet of tube is the least of my worries, so since Warren needs it, he can have it.

As I said though, if you have a way to deploy with it, you can have my G25-5 for an altitude attempt (I wish I had a G25-15, but the 5 second was hard enough to find as it is). From my sims, you shoul...

The other crux is that the G55, in an optimized rocket, will be at minimum in the transonic if not the supersonic, while the G25 will not. That is also a major change in drag. Which one is the greater...

It still won't touch a 24mm G55... which I will be flying before December 31st when it goes out of certification. Warren From all my sims, it more than touches it, it well surpasses it with a well opt...

Well, it's not really possible to get to the moon with 3 people with any less power than Apollo used. The current plans already call for the use of far more total power than any Apollo mission 🙂 It wa...

Most E-matches on the market today have an all fire current in the range of 500mA or less, with somewhere around 1 ohm resistance. It should fire pretty easily. By the way, Adrian, if you do design yo...

I too could use the 4" piece, but I need a chunk like that plus another 4 or 5 feet, so go ahead Warren (since I would need to order some anyways).
