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

Yup, forgot about the home-brewed motors. Should be quite a help to those pursuing the dark art. It's on my list, but way out there right now. 1st employment, 2nd L2, then ... Ken

For those of us who fly almost exclusively with the club, I don't see how this ruling affects us that much, as Tim is at nearly every launch. Those rare occasions, it would be nice to have a small st...

If you don't want to use a delay or smoke grain put the nut on the inside for more strength. If you're talking Aerotech hardware, you're guaranteeing a front closure blowout by leaving out the delay. ...

I installed my sustainer and 3 airstarts igniters at the pad. It took quite a while and possibly backed up the line, but I thought that was the rule (real or not) for motors G and up. I could see ho...

Not sure how they'd compare in tensile strength, but aluminum threads can strip really easily. I didn't even notice the weight of the rods in my LOC ebay. It kind of got lost in the mass of a 4" roc...

"reliable, repeatable method of lighting two motors simultaneously"Cesaroni ❗ Seriously, Mike. Make a cheap 38mm version in LOC paper tubing and use the 1 or 2-grain Cesaroni G or H motors to prove i...

Nice pics, Mike S. Mike K. ... The flight looked errr sub-optimal. 😯 When it's rebuilt, I suggest the following if going Aerotech motors again in a cluster:1) Use Blue Thunder propellant - much ...

I called and apologized to Mike, but I won't be there tomorrow. I have a job interview Monday, and I'm going to prepare for it over the weekend. Wish me luck! Go get 'em Bruce! Find anything you can ...

Scott, You might try what I did for the GPS in my 4" cone. Once you have the weight where you want it, wrap up the gps in anti-static foam or bubblewrap, just to give it a smooth shape, then 2-part f...

I've gone through Wildman for all my PR stuff. Excellent customer service there. No direct experience with Curtis. Ken

If there's time, post some pictures of the DC-30 in "as delivered" and "for rocketry" configurations. Throw a ruler in the picture for some scale, or next to a DC-20 for reference. For my planned re-...

I don't think even Mike has dissected a DC30 yet. Would be nice if they've shrunk it further or fixed the problem with the antenna connector going the wrong direction (for us anyway).Ken

That's great news, as I'm overbuilding a LOC Legacy for the I200 right now, and I'd rather not lose it. Ken

If the laundry fit is very loose, you can get away with the charge above the laundry for the aft-most deployment. I've had 100% success so far this way, but it's been a 16" drogue in a 4" tube (VERY ...
