Also more commonly known as blue and red loctite. Red will require heat (as in a torch) along with some serious torque to remove. Blue and a jam nut should be plenty. -Ken

Ya gotta have a cert motor, tho! 😉

Chad or Adrian? 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

Ideally, for the cluster, use Quest Q2G2 igniters as they will light quickly and they have longer leads which are easier to twist together than the Estes ones. If I make it up to MHM, I'd be more than...

Should be a very sturdy bird. Isn't that the same one Konshak used for his L3? I remember he had a bazillion build photos posted on his website, including some nice mounting work for the DC20 in the...

I wouldn't push too hard until the fire danger is lower. I've got several places I've flown in Longmont, but with the grass this dry, I wouldn't dare fly. My best field was easily large enough for G...

In their description, the part that screws into the closure is intended only for motor retention. I would guess that the plastic closure would not hold up to the stress of a hard recovery jerk (such ...

Looks like it threads into the charge well of the plastic front closure (delay/ejection holder). Haven't used one, but thanks for the heads up. Must get!-Ken

Normally, it'd be the delay element & ejection charge holder. In some of the 54 loads, it's plugged & tapped. I think it's all the long-burn versions. Is somewhat reusable. -Ken

Will stages 2 and 3 have flip-out fins, so as to not ruin the appearance or CG-CP relationship? Lookin' huge! -Ken

I've gotten automotive paint at a little shop on Main in Longmont (can't remember the name, though). It's on the west side, near 1st.

I'd recommend setting it up so that the central N has enough oomph to get it to a safe altitude all by itself (in case of failed ignition of some/all outboards). Set the outboards to ignite upon moti...

The large fins of the Jumanji should work in your favor, pulling the CP back. Have you done any sims to determine what kind of margin you're looking at? Just throw in a wide range of motors (light, ...

Now what other club has a president who not only knows his members, but their fleets as well, from just a written description? 8)

Anybody got any drawings showing how the Apollo moon buggy folded up and fit with the lander? It seems relatively large, but it would be nice to see a comparison of it vs. current Mars rovers, in ter...
