If you posted them on either Rocketry Planet or Rocketry Forum, I'm sure you'd get your asking price easily. Edward

I'm considering them dead if less than 5 people out of our club show *any* level of interest in them. Edward

Going to a mix session is a great way to gain information, even if all you to is stand around. Group builds (like the Proton) are also a great opportunity. Edward

I tinker in the research world. I've done APCP but mainly concentrate on hybrids now. I'm in Fort Collins. As with James, e-mail is the best way to contact me. edwardcw AT gmail DOT com Edward

The club has some GSE - but lately I've been bringing my own hoses and valves because the solenoid works, but can be hit or miss. Edward

I've been wondering if anyone else in the club has any *concrete* plans to fly hybrids. I know I fly them, but am considering getting rid of my 2nd tank of nitrous because there isn't the demand. Tap...

Even though the fire ban is lifted - it is still very very dry out there. Dead grass just doesn't green up. Edward

I was in the area this morning - about 8am. We had some good rain there last night. Was damp at 8am. By the time we left at 11am the roads were dry and you could hardly tell it rained at all out th...

I'll just throw my ideas out there - I hope to be more involved in the re-build if I have the time. I've talked to James but wondered if there was a way to do a pull pin ignition of the outboards that...

I was wondering what the proper rocket recovery etiquette is. At MHM I was out looking for my rocket and came upon a rocket that was about 1.5 miles from the pad, down a hill and being drug very fast...

That one is a 96" chute toroidal profile. Let D1's L3 down nice and easy. I make about 10 a year for people - not a whole lot but keeps me busy. I actually have a 60" you can try if you want to see ...

Sorry, I didn't read the 20-25 fps. That's screaming in! At 20 fps I get a 48" parachute with a 17.5 pound recovery weight and recovering at the North Site - 5500'. A 60" parachute gives you 16 fps...

What descent rate do you want? I generally go for a 10-12 fps because I like landing soft, especially on our prairie. I make a torodial chute that does very well for the size. On my L3 I used a 60"...

I never use swivels in my recovery gear. Your rocket is able to rotate free in the air and a swivel is another point of failure. Loctite and a lockwasher are all you should need. Edward

We got .31" here in Fort Collins. Looking at a couple sites the North Site got about .03". 🙁 Edward
