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 s...

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...

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...

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 🙂

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 eit...

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.

I have to agree with that - it's a nice motor, though it doesn't have the massive flame, huge kick, or deafening roar that the Loki I405 has (though that's probably a good thing for a cert flight 😆 )

Pish, H motor.... 😉 Edit: Very nice Miranda by the way. I got my L1 on the same rocket, only mine was Quantum Tubing instead of that fancy stuff. Haha... Exactly my point 😆 At that weight though, it s...

OK - as soon as I know the weight, I can recommend some good H motors to try 😀

It looks good to me 😎 What's the weight?

I don't believe that is the case with commercial. The rule for research is because research motors aren't always quite as reliable and consistent with the thrust curves, and in some cases, an exact th...

I have 4 or 5 F101's 😆 😯
