Just remember, David, that the longer the curing time, the stronger the epoxy bond. 5 minute epoxy is fine for model rockets, but not strong enough for HPR, in some cases--especially with fins. That b...

Warren: Here's my GPS data from last Octoberfest. The blue track is yours, the red track is mine, and the green track is Ed's. I also sent you the actual GPS file.

Really? I'm sorry about that - I think I still have the file. I'll check for it sometime this weekend, and get it to you if possible.

Very cool - is that from last weekend? Here's my track from my M1939 shot to 17,880 on Sunday morning - it gives a very good track of wind at all altitudes, since the descent rate was pretty much cons...

Only if your membership has been lapsed for at least a year. If it expired less than a year ago, you should be good to go.

Welcome back Geof 😀 Good to hear that you're back, and I hope you had a great time in Australia. I look forward to seeing you and your gliders back at the launch site. Do you think you'll be trying yo...

Congrats on the two mile club. That was a gorgeous flight. 😀 As for the motor ignition time, you can safely ignore it. The Raven in my M1939 shot on Sunday said it had an ignition time of 0.645 second...

Nice pictures. Too bad a certain launch video is missing... 😉

Oh no - you lost it? I didn't see you coming back with it, but I had assumed that you found it. Just so you know, my Nike that launched around the same time as your Patriot ended up a LOT farther to t...

Well, my K attempt catoed, and I really don't feel like rushing to try again. Maybe next year.

John, if anyone knew the details of the BALLS shot, it would be absolutely clear we were smoking something... as it is, we might just set a field record at the north site with this baby. Under 4# and ...

Yeah, Bryan, I was all hyped up too when i saw guys i knew. Then it got silly... first one to 1000' with a Aerotech J1999, 2 out or 15 or so, were the only ones that could take 500lbs of thurst, Go El...

Joe, I'll be sending my L3 up on a healthy M - it shouldn't break 20, but it's close enough for discomfort, and having a window would be a good idea. It'll probably go up Saturday.

I might be interested Bruce - I'll let you know soon.

Absolutely. I have a youtube account, and I'd be happy to upload the video.
