Joe,I’ll be there Sunday and can help with RSO/LCO, as well as take some 7.5″ tubes off your hands.Edward

Can you use an appropriate size dowel with some sandpaper wrapped it to smooth it out? That would be my first starting point.Edward

I don’t have any extra aluminum – just the parts to the motor/rocket.Edward

I looked over the motor last night – and I figured out a way someone could fly it 1/2 full. You would need a bulkhead and then a pipe to hold it 1/2way down in the tank. Shouldn’t be too…   Read more»

You could put 1/2 load in it, but you’d really need to talk to Jeff Jakobs and see what his numbers are. I’m doubtful it would go 64k. If it holds 19 pounds of nitrous, and you get 1000 Ns…   Read more»

4 (5?) years ago I did a semester long project with a 4 very motivated high school students on propellant studies. You should have seen the hoops we had to jump through for that. But, it was extremely worth it…   Read more»

Mike,Thank you for the report! Now I’m just worried about August – a lot of grass and then it cures. Now we need some hungry cattle!Edward

Should a shovel and tow strap be in our range box this time :DEdward

I don’t think soup beats fire ban when you get stuck in it :)Edward

Last call for Nitrous at Mini-Mile High Mayhem.Please contact me atedwardcw (AT) gmail (DOT) comif you are going to fly a hybrid.Edward

I won’t be flying and HPR at Mini-Mayhem as I’ve just moved and can’t quite find everything, but will be flying some LPR with my son. Is there a volunteer schedule because I’d love to sign up for LCO/RSO/Range Director.Also,…   Read more»

BEAR,What about the land near the gravel pits on Strauss Cabin (east of Zigler and Horsetooth) They have a huge berm built up from the excavation and I think you could fly on the west side and be well screened…   Read more»

I’d love to get that and integrate that into this map if possible.Edward

Outlining the parcels that different owners have, with contact information.Edward

An eventual goal would be to create a landing map based on altitude. That way we could identify trends that would allow us to be better able to make the call about when to fly to higher altitudes and stay…   Read more»

What about epoxying in a piece of all thread, 5/16″, and stacking washers on this. Then you can tailor your nose weight to what you need, and be able to have a way to do tracking in the future. You…   Read more»

Jack,If you’d like to talk over altimeters, e-bay, etc and see some of my designs in person I’d be happy to help you!Edward

Very nice!How is the condition of the pipe stubs in the concrete. I see the tee fitting I put on them a while back is still there. I think I also put a coupler on one to help keep them…   Read more»

You’ll get a rocket that has some nice coning action. I had a rocket like that once also. Fin was leaning. About 5 seconds into a 8 second burn the rocket was coning in about 5 foot diameter circles. I…   Read more»

Maybe it would be good to contact the membership via the NCR e-mail to let them know of the changes to MHM and solicit input. Seems like these forums are pretty slow.Edward
