I'm sure I'll be making a nuisance of myself and asking to photograph many of your birds while they are sitting at your campsites too! John, the biggest nuisance might be the asking 😀 Just kidding...

Technically its not Battle of the Acronyms since I'm using Little Freeze Frame but it should be a good drag race. The simulations are nearly identical for the first few seconds. Again we're trying t...

I've used 3 grams for my BDCR rocket for years and it was plenty. It was 6" and at least 24" long and it tested OK with 2 gms. I went to 3 for safety. The calcualtor said 6 grams as I recall and it...

if you are seriously thinking about wanting to fly off of my pad and have me film it, please don't wait until OF to ask about it. I do a lot of preparation in advance and it is very unlikely I'll trow...

This is one of my favorite photograph from on board a rocket. It uses an X-form chute. Doug

Yes, the higher the grade is stronger the steel. However, it is not necessarily true that stainless steel is stronger than regular steel. The impurities that are put into steel to make it stainless ...

Doug, can you email me directly the Word file with the contest rules? Done Doug

don't assume because you didn't hear anything that nothing has been happening Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. And I try not to assume, I know what that stands for. So what have you done with the con...

Scott I guess that isn't allowed. Besides I'm the first to admit that the proposed rules are not complete. It doesn't address teams. I assumed this was an individual competition and not for teams. ...

I thought the proposed contest was still in the discussion/planning stage and was intended for the 2009 Oktoberskies It was suppose to be finalized by the end of August so that it can be distributed t...
