I follow what you're saying, Conway. I'm just trying to decide whether to top the booster with an open coupler and use the eyebolt closure, or to put the bulkhead in the coupler with a U-bolt. BTW, ...

More questions, diving into this as the noob: Has anyone ever seen a front closure unthread from the casing due to recovery harness attachment? It's pretty straightforward to put a jamnut between th...

OK. If I can't make that launch, I'll get it to you before then, since we're both in Wrongmont. Ken

If its any help in narrowing down ownership, it seemed very fresh. The masking tape was not weathered at all and peeled off clean, still sticky. Oh, and it's PML. Ken

Well, it's not a cert, but I was more nervous about handing control over to my altimeter than I was with my L1. Thanks to all who dealt with my questions on ground testing, to Mike for the BP and gett...

At the Atlas site, just behind the row of cars, I found a phenolic motormount adapter with used Roadrunner G80 in it. All was blue tape friction fit (aparently not enough 😉 ) If it's yours, let me kn...

The manual for my MAWD doesn't specify the latch time, so I should just try it like you said. It certainly works out to cheaper than ematches (and LEUP free). Ken

You could try, but it would probably require a long "on" time, possibly latched. Most altimeters just give a blip of current to pop an ematch. Everyone post results from any experiments! 8) Ken

I had read that AMW had demonstrated Red Rhino in the Pro38 "so easy an idiot can do it" case, and said that Skidmark would be coming for that case as well. Tim, can you confirm/deny? 1-6 grains? Ma...

I'll be flying "Excess in Moderation" (LOC Fantom EXL) on probably an I300T with 6 F24W airstarts and DD. A bit "out there" for a L1 newbie. It should be cool whether successful or not. 😉 Other than...

Bob, Send me your email address and I'll send it to you. Then just fax it back and I'll send it on to the property owner. Ken Here's a map...

Well, still no Sams Club construction going on, so we went out to the site this weekend and burned up the better part of an Estes flight pack. 15 launches with my son and his friend. No wind and dry ...

I haven't seen any discussion of it, nor the usual request for someone to tow the trailer. So, is it on? Ken

Incidentally, the reason for the attempt is supposedly the concern over hydrazine tanks. .... I read that it was estimated to be 1000 gallons of hydrazine. Talk about a nasty rainstorm below. I'd th...

I haven't done it, but a SU composite booster should light a BP sustainer, but not the other way around.
