That should work fine. Flight should be around 1500-2000′. Make sure to upsize the chute to take about 12 lbs at 15-20fpsEdward

For Tripoli Research rules you do have to be L2 in Tripoli. If you are NAR and would like to fly I’d happily fly your rocket under my name as I’m Tripoli L2. I’d just want to check that you…   Read more»

I think this would work great! What is the dry weight of the rocket?EdwardEdward,I have a 3″ bird with an 18″ 54mm motor mount. It has plenty of room for a 28″ motor (stability included) as the BT section is…   Read more»

Hopefully 🙂 Anyone who has a rocket that will take 28″ of 54mm motor and weighs less than 10 lbs ready to fly with electronics is welcome.Edward

For those motors I think you’d have to turn to the dark side :)Edward

Loki motors seem to be very nice – I’ve seen a flew fly and have been very impressed 🙂 I like how the 54mm’s have the machined in thrust ring – nice touch.Edward

I’ve never really encountered that problem, though I can see that if you did do one on a lathe that if you turned the OD down and didn’t drill out your throat before re-chucking to turn the other face down…   Read more»

I’ve ditched using epoxy in the nosecone and will go with PL Premium. It is a polyurethane construction glue. I was looking around and remembered that when I did water rockets I often would glue two 2L bottles to each…   Read more»

That is a good idea. I’d probably be looking at a 1.5″ diameter plywood circle at the top. I’m going to bevel it 45 degrees to get it more profiled. I really like the idea. I’m wondering if instead of…   Read more»

I’m thinking it means 4of them at .256″ 4M = 4 Medusa??? That would seem more likely. Though not a whole lot of area.Edward

With the Aerosleeves I do this to get it nice and tight to the airframe. You need two sturdy posts (I used my fence posts on a corner) ratchet tie down strap and two 3/8″ pieces of cord about 5’…   Read more»

I started making sugar motors in PVC – all were core burners, about 6″ long in 1.5″ PVC. They’d burn a bit before producing useable thrust. Then I moved to using some standard 54mm cases and had much more thrust….   Read more»

Sugar motors are a great place to start! That is where I started. I’ve done those and AP and even though AP is easier from a process point of view not much can beat the nice thick smoke of sugar!Edward

I have one of the small deep fry pots from Walmart. Works amazing. With the sorbitol you just have to mix it in, and keep the temp correct and it will melt nicely. I’ve never added RIO because it already…   Read more»

Bruce,You should really talk to 2 people. One is Nate L. out of Boulder (he flew the K500 on 6/3) and the other is Brad M. of Tripoli Colorado. Both have flown sugar before and can give you a great…   Read more»

Nope. The I/J.Edward

I’ll also be out there with the trailer stand so you all will probably get to see some AH motors before they are certed.Edward

Why not fly it on the CTI’s?Edward

I know I’m planning an M hybrid flight as well as a wimpy J flight (if I get that rocket built in time).Edward
