So now what are you going to do - a full scale Mercury Redstone? I haven't seen the article but I think Art is saving his pennies for flying lessons. Congratulations Art on passing your ground school...

Probably the best way to effect a Proxy vote is to identify which club member that will be in attendence at the meeting can/will best represent your vote choices. Let that person know they are to be y...

Joe or any officer of NCR,It was mentioned before about Proxy Voting for the annual meeting, what is the proper method for declaring the proxy voter? Thanks. Doug

It wouldint really be any better than the Poris Teflon would it? Where did you get it ? Scott, it really depends of the surface you want. As Ken pointed out the Peel Ply leaves a rough surface and is...

Here is a link to a charge test that I did indoors. Nothing like impaling a car but it did scare the crap out of us. It's a large file, about 11M but it shows a 2.0 gm charge in a 6" rocket with pis...

This last weekend we had a very small intimate rocket launch near where I live in New Mexico and I thought I would share it with you. I went out to fly my small version of Freeze Frame and despite my...

I guess I can assume that both FW and C both are/ or can be G-10? I guess I have made that same assumption as well. I know it has fiberglass and epoxy and the best way I found to cut that is with the...

If you've worked with G10 you are probably already aware that toothed instruments such as saw blades, and drill bits, absorb almost all the heat generated since the G10 is such a great thermal insluat...

The drilling thing (on filament wound) is a mess. I have tried drilling at different speeds, types of bits, taping before drilling, etc. The danged delamination is a mess. I had to get the right tool...

I use Hawk Mountain tubing, never PR. I found the quality is much better with HM and Art's rocket is an example that many of you saw first hand. The PR tubing may be thinner walled which results in ...

Hey Doug.. So what do you do and who do you work for. Just curious.. Conway, you must have missed the link I snuck in I work as an Engineer/Technical Manager but there is a huge variety of jobs from ...

Joe, if you're willing to relocate, I'll put in a good word for you where I work in NM. I'm always trying to recruit fellow rocket people in my area. If you, or anyone, would be interested drop me a...

Wish I could've seen Doug's movies of that. Bruce, you'll have your chance at MHM '08. I will likely just add the footage from Oktoberfest and XPC to the earlier footage and make a 2007 reel. Doug

I have orderd directly from L L Electronics and you can save a few bucks. Also I specified the 219 MHz band since that's the receiver I had and they had not problem building what I need. Here is the...

I would like to thank Mike, Art, Warren, and especially Justin for their help with my equipment this weekend. I'll apologize in advance if I forgot anyone, I know there were others. I really don't t...
