Related note - the Prange Ranch that was for sale near the site nearly 10k acres) wasn't chopped into tracks - someone bought the whole thing and plans on continuing keeping it a ranch. I'm very glad...

Sean, Contact me about the Z-pard - I've got one made and the packing issues have vanished 🙂 Edward

I wish GLR would also make 5.5" I have cones for 5.5 but not for 6". Also I like the plastic nosecones for 5.5 vs the fiberglass for 6". Edward

Seeing that Mike Fisher put his famous 38mm L motor in a minimum diameter Blue tube rocket and it didn't fail I think it should be fine. I don't think the Warp 9 kicks as hard as the 38mm L motor. He...

I'm even betting that you could fly a 54mm minimum diameter rocket out of LOC paper on that newfangled CTI longburner. The maximum thrust is 126#, but you'd need a nice paint job so you don't scorch ...

Contained properly BP is a great choice. Less bulky, has plenty of punch, easy to handle and use. At the end of that PDF you can see the author's Z-PaRD. Mine doesn't have that shackle on the left ...

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 ca...

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 gettin...

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%. ...

Since it always comes up that some people need to discuss the weather and worry about things that we have no control over - here is the thread to do so 🙂 Edward

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 ...

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: Links at...

Alpha Hybrids will be at MHM Friday-Sunday this year. We'll have the pre-filled hybrid motors as well as a full complement of Skyripper 38 and 54mm Motors. Drop by and fly one - you might like it! Ed...

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
