Contained properly BP is a great choice. Less bulky, has plenty of punch, easy to handle and use.http://www.libertylaunchsystems.com/RocketsMagazine/Issue0007/sample.pdfAt the end of that PDF you can see the author’s Z-PaRD. Mine doesn’t have that shackle on the left side – just…   Read more»

Wow – that is a lot of re-kitting of parts. Your containment seems to be well thought out. I know a few people who use surgical tubing with great success…maybe if you have redundant charges you can have one set…   Read more»

What method did you use to hold your charges?Edward

Such a bummer 🙁 That was a beautiful rocket.My guess would be the shortened coupler section tweaked sometime and bound. I know John Bixler flew a Loki K350 with that setup and it was a bear getting that coupler to…   Read more»

I’d sim it in RasAero – it has been spot on for all my high performance flights. I’ve compared data predicted to data from the flight and through 3 flights I’ve never had variances of more than 2%. I waited…   Read more»

You’ll need a vent tube and electronic recovery. The vent tube is simply a hole drilled in the airframe to vent nitrous during filling. The information on the 54mm SRS set can be found at//skyrippersystems.com/products/54mm.htmlLinks at the bottom of the…   Read more»

I’ve talked with various members and at the last few big launches I’ve seen very few rockets actually checked over before being loaded onto the pad.I think it would be nice to have an LCO, two RSO’s and one, if…   Read more»

Their website may be back but inquiries into products available leave a lot to be desired. Everything seems to be on backorder and not in stock.Edward

I thought the Sentinel was a Binder Design kit? BSD had some very nice kits. I really wish that Rocket Dynamic Systems (RDS) would come back, really loved their prices on kits and materials.Edward

I can’t see any wind in that picture :DEdward

Could we just have Mike S. build enough Swift 220 upscales and we could just set them on the ground – no rod/rail needed :)Edward

Mañana mañana… 8OEdward

Any takers for the weekend, or will I still have to dominate the hybrid scene here :)Edward

Also, the Skyripper motors will need vents drilled at the proper locations in your airframe.Edward

Here is it for 54’s54/540 24 5/8″ long – J348 or J26354/780 29 5/8″ long – J337 or J26154/1120 36 5/8″ long- K347 or K257EdwardAll of this information is available in tables on Skyripper’s site:www.skyrippersystems.com

There are 3 different case lengths.38/220 is 21″ long – H124 or H15538/400 is 28 3/4″ long – I119 or I14738/580 is 36 5/8″ long – I117 or J144Edward

The DC-20 does record altitude. You do have to subtract out ground elevation as it reads ASL. I looked at my L3 shot and was amazed when it was reading in the 32’s and 33’s. Then I remembered I had…   Read more»

Will there be Nitrous at the launch?Edward

I’ll have some motors to fly…and maybe a rocket :)Edward
