I’m going to fly at least 3 SRS 54mm hybrids as well as 2-3 flights of Alpha Hybrids motors (and the aerospike) on Sunday.Edward

Hughes Stadium near the foothills is a great place to launch. Contact the campus and ask them. I’ve done there before on weekends and usually the place is packed with people walking their dogs, walking, running, etc. Wide open on…   Read more»

It also doesn’t hurt to contact the local fire department. Most of them are very cool about it and I’ve even had some attend things I’ve done. Most firefighters I know are just a tiny bit away from a pyromanic…   Read more»

I agree as well that I’d hate to have something happen out there and possibly lose the launch site. That would really suck!Edward

If you don’t want to add the 24v booster box simply use a regular e-match instead of the resistor. That way ignition on the dual fill lines is near the same and you don’t have to worry about one taking…   Read more»

Doug,Find me at Oktoberfest before you get ready to go out to the pad. I’ve got a nice fitting that makes it *way* easier to connect to the GSE and is much more user friendly. Does the Contrail require 24V?…   Read more»

I’m up for that Nate 🙂 Let me know when. YOu are always welcome to mix at my place. :)Edward

You made any more Everclear Nate? How about the 54mm KNER?Edward

I think somewhere I’ve got some LOC tubing also. If Bryan can’t help you let me know. I’ve found Hobbytown to be very dissapointing, especially since they fired Joe. They order the same Quantum Tube every year, and every year…   Read more»

The best one I’ve used is the DeWalt 12″ compound sliding mitre saw. I’ve built numerous houses with one and it doesn’t bat an eyelash. The only saw that I’ve used that is better is a German made radial arm…   Read more»

A table saw works nicely. I use that and have great results.Edward

Even at primer bubbling…the heat doesn’t penetrate. That is a very thin layer that is bonded on the best it can being an applied coating. Now if you powder coated something….then I’d be really afraid if you bubbled the paint….   Read more»

I want to know who’s getting to 1200F first of all. Motors have to be kept under 392F (200C) and I’m having a hard time imagining a rocket going long enough that the entire body heats to 1200F. Something says…   Read more»

I just finished off my gallon of Aeropoxy I bought 3 years ago. Works really nice – just wish it would cure a little faster. I fiberglassed at least 8 x 98mm x 34″ tubes. 4 x 64mm x 34″…   Read more»

What gauge is the Nichrome? I had a roll of 32 and 36…PM me.Edward

I’m guessing the windmill was still in use for cattle…it did have a wagon wheel pattern of trails around it.Edward

Man! That windmill was awesome for hunting pronghorn. You’d climb up and the little guys rarely look above 6′ so you’d be able to get much closer than normal – plenty close for a bow.Edward

Sugar motors are fun – there are a few people in the club that do them in snap ring hardware – I did them for a while…they are nice!Edward

You trying Wickham’s AN motors? Never tried those but they sounded neat!Edward

Have you been to Home Depot or Ace? I found mine at Home Depot near the wall spackling and repair section.Edward
