Your found item sounds like one of the boosters for Doug Gerrard’s Freeze Frame.KenAnyone find my Wacky Wiggler yet?

Doug and Art,What’s the status of Odyssey?Was hoping for a P motor Sunday!Ken

I’ll be flying Excess In Moderation again, on an I300T with 3 Pro38 airstarts, either H123 skidmarks (if I could get them) or H143 smokey sams.If I get time, I might clean up and fly the Hot Pink Suppository of…   Read more»

Call Bryan Penfold (the rocket garden). He’s local and has lots of LOC stuff. http://www.therocketgarden.comOr email him at therocketgarden@aol.comKen

I can totally understand the fire danger. Would this still be in effect if the motors are being lit 1-2k feet up, or is it “across the board”? I’ve also heard that the titanium flake in the G-H skids is…   Read more»

My son and I will try to attend and scrub our share!Ken

Only “=more altitude” if weight of sensors and gimbaled motor mount =0.Still cool. I think that system is begging to be stuffed into an upscaled Mars Lander with NO recovery system. Just a nice long-burn up and down.Ken

I believe that team started with D motors and progressed through G so far. Here’s a video of that creation…http://www.ukrocketry.com/index.php?option=com_weblinks&task=view&catid=15&id=21Pretty cool how it drifts downwind, but stays vertical the whole time. And no fins!Ken

Actually, it’s been done in mid-powered (F motors), and is totally acceptable to mess around with.http://www.ukrocketman.com/rocketry/gimbal.shtml#gimbal13I don’t think there are any safety codes that prohibit guidance or active stability controls. I know our own Doug Gerrard has played around with…   Read more»

For the A,B,C stuff, I wait for a Michaels 40 or 50% coupon. The one in Superior (by Costco) has the flight packs (25 motors, I believe).Ken

Never had such an issue. Maybe your disc is full? Seriously, though, contact Tim at Apogee. They’ve been extremely responsive to customers there. There are also a few people on TRF that are very sharp on Rocksim.Good luck,Ken

Just for everyone else to know, Bill also has a large stash of chutes he wants to get rid of as well. I think he’d take $50 for all, from 70″ on down.Too much for me to deal with, so…   Read more»

YES!

Left a message, but I suppose 30 other people probably did before me!Quite a deal. I already have the 38 set, but selling those would go towards the missing pieces of my 54 set!Crossing fingers…Ken

Nope, the 15k does data collection and peak report only, no deployments. I’ve got one, too. Only used it for my son’s science fair project last year.Ken

How about 2 classes, kinda like the single shot?1) Single participant, L1 motor or smaller2) Massive amazing group project, big honkin’ motor(s)Hmmm? 😕

Anyone seen a large Baby Bertha?Yes, about 20 years ago when I first started HPR there was an upscale of the Big Bertha on the cover of the Tripolitian. It was about 8 inches in diameter and 12 feet tall…   Read more»

Found the Farside. The builder was Dennis Winningstad. The picture is on Giant Leap’s site, under customer projects. Very cool.Ken

Anyone seen a large Baby Bertha? If someone knows where I could get a 4″ cone for LOC tubing, I have a few feet of it that isn’t dedicated to a project yet.Ken

I’ve seen pictures of an upscale Farside, so it’s been done. I’ll try to find a link. I still have my original Farside from the late 70’s, unflown. Don’t know if it would hold together, tho.Yeah, yeah, I know… “Yeah,…   Read more»
