I wouldn't use a brick. That defeats the purpose of the competition 😀 Use a small, light rocket. Make it a 100g egg 😀 THAT would be a challenge to keep from scrambling 😆

I think I could devise a scheme to keep the shell intact. No guarantees on contents, but I bet I could keep the shells just fine.

The reason for these motors is because it would be more challenging to make an egg survive an H999, H667, or some other REALLY fast motor than something like an H73J. Also, warp 9 is cool 😀

John and I lost a 38mm rocket from about 6000 feet at the north site. It weighed in at about 2lbs, and had a large mylar streamer for recovery, so it should be fairly close to the pad. It was last see...

Not a problem - we don't really care (Actually, standard is better in many ways for our purposes). I too will have an almost full 1lb can of 4F - if you need any, just ask.

Only if it is FFFFg (4F). 3F works too, but 4F is preferred. IIRC, flintlocks only use this for the tiny primer charge. If you have some, bring it though - great if you drop an ejection charge, or som...

There's a store called the blunderbuss, specializes in BP stuff. I can't recall the exact location, hopefuly someone will remember. If you can't find any by the launch, then lots of people up there sh...

Great - I'm headed up saturday, as I said, and I'll be there until it starts to wind down on Sunday. I look forward to seeing this cluster project 🙂

I can guarantee you that between GLR, Wildman, and Joe from Hobbytown that you can find 3 H128 reloads. That won't be the issue. As for hooking up? I'm the overenthusiastic 16 year old that shows up s...

That seems fine, and DEFINITELY, do not friction fit.

Not yet (that I know of). I'm hoping for a K3000 though 😆

That was the last time I saw them - not sure where. I'll never use them again though, unless they came with the motor. Quickbursts work as well or better for $1 each. (about $1.50 each for the K and u...

According to him, they haven't shipped yet, but are in production and basically ready to ship (talked to AT today), but then again, some places show them as in stock so overall, who knows... Maybe he'...

Yeah - no kidding. As for the designed to fail? I wouldn't go that far, but they're certainly overpriced. $9 for a 3-pack of firstfires? Give me a break 🙄

Again, like I posted on TRF, maybe try a gelcoat finish rather than straight epoxy? It's designed as a finish layer, and as such should not bubble.
