Well, the Loki I405 is great in a Miranda, as is the I110 (just ask nate). Slightly tamer are the Aerotech I161 or the I218. For J motors, the J90 is my preference, but any small to mid J other than t...

I'm just going off that site I linked to (the "here" is a link if you click it). It claims 9000 newtons thrust for 1.9 seconds, with a peak velocity just a hair over mach 5 (3900mph), and then a LONG ...

Bill Heath and I are also in the design stage for a boosted dart. In our case we're looking at a 38mm dart and a 3" booster. In fact, we're building a 100% scale Loki Dart. (As a matter of fact, the o...

Looks VERY nice, and even though you did use polyester resin (never used the stuff honestly, so I can't say much about it), it should be more than strong enough for the I600 for L1 and the K1445 for L...

Well, certainly some of it will sublimate, but I'd imagine a fair bit would soak in. I can't imagine that it would make no difference...

Got my first rocket at age 8 or so, but unlike most people here, for me that was the summer of 1998. For several years, I flew intermittently from the local park, and then I saw a CRASH sign at Hobbyt...

I'm in for 250, that is there are takers.JS 😈 I'm definitely not, as I can't afford a risk like that right now. I need that money for my L2 project, which will fly next year at MHM probably.

I'm in for the SSSS - I'll pay the fee at the rocketry dinner (I can't make the Feb. launch). I have something interesting planned, and I shouldn't lose it this time because a tracker is allowed.

(will definately use epoxy next time). Did you not use epoxy? As for motor weight, a J350 is a bit over a pound IIRC. If you're using rocksim though, it will take care of it. I doubt if you'll need ...

Very nice work. That thing should be bulletproof :D. How much does it weigh?

C, definitely. I like the E glider class a lot.

I know this - I have something fun planned for my SSSS entry this year, and it really won't be necessarily the best design (if someone comes with an absolute maxed out carbon scream machine, I won't b...

You know for all the egotism in the club... I just don't see the egotistical thing you refer to. There are many folks who have loaned fully built rockets to others who were seeking answers. I can gi...

This is a forum, you mean we're actually supposed to stay on topic ❓ 🙄

Now this sounds interesting... I might go for it...
