We will have an M drag race this year - Chris Frazier and his dad are going to do their L3 certs at the same time. It should be interesting as they have identical projects with identical motors Now ...

We have something like 7 or 8 L3 attempts slated for O'Fest. Between the other M's that have been talked about, we may have well over two dozen M flights + a couple of N shots. Hopefully Mother Natu...

Thanks to every one who helped at the cleanup day this weekend. We had a great turnout and were able to get everything in pristine shape for Oktoberfest. Thanks to;Bruce Schaefer, David Bishop, Denni...

Yep, that fat guy with the white rocket on the home page is getting a little outdated 8) I'll bet Doug has some nice shots? The one Doug G uses on his signature would look outstanding on the front ...

This is a quiet thread -- I will be there Saturday AM at 9. Thanks for hosting, Ed! JW

OUTSTANDING paint job, Mark!!! would love to know more about how that was done... My project "Rough Draft" is on schedule (meaning it will be done about the night before the launch). This is a ligh...

I'm a piston guy - if the nosecone shakes off and doesn't pull the chute out, the main charge just blows by the laundry and the next thing you hear is a loud THUDDDDDDDDD. With a piston, you are pret...

Nice serial # on that casing, T! I can't make BALLS this year but I know you will have something special in 2010. I'll definitely be there next year... been thinking about a 98mm minimum diameter sh...

Web page woes.. Just to let you know that I (still) cannot get to "iflyrockets" other than the initial logon screen. After that, I'm stuck. I can see there are 5 private messages in there ❗ but I c...

First, Scott - not a moon burner, but that would be cool. Those typically don't do well w/ minimum diameter as the fins melt off 😯 or the off-axis thrust doesn't do well will tiny fins (which are o...

I thought I'd start a thread to see who-is-flying-what at O'fest. For my part, it has been 18 months since I started a new project. That changed today, as I began work on a project that I hope will ...

Adrian, will CTI mold special reloads with the tapered aft ends? IIRC those are all 38mm reloads, which of course do not use a separate aft ring - the rear closure is molded with the reload itself, a...

Folks, there are a large number of flyers talking about doing L3 cert flights at O'Fest. This will be a bit of a logistical challenge as James, Art, and I will also be flying / vending / etc. Can yo...

Tim, there is a rumor that there is a new single-use, full "I" motor out there. I'm sure Adrian and I are both interested 8) I won't fly this at Oktoberfest, but would like to get the order in....

I may just show up myself... depends if I have a rocket to finish before O'Fest, though!
