I never looked! But, I will now!

How do you tell if there’s a pellet in it?I plan on using Blue Streak, as they’re supposedly easy to light.

It may be your epoxy. That cheap 10 minute stuff from Hobby Town is prone to letting go, if that’s what you used. It’s also brittle and prone to breaking and separating.I like Aeropoxy. I have had rockets found after…   Read more»

I am tempted to go hunt for it.Glad you found yours. I since got a Big Red Bee beacon to track my rockets. It worked last launch and surely would have kept me from losing this one.I have come to…   Read more»

forgot to state that!

If you see Jack’s photolink from the week end, it’s the first rocket in pictures!See the March Launch thread JackMattI’d join you, but I’m leaving town for work.If you find it, I’ll trade you a decent motor in return. Good…   Read more»

from about 7000 feet landed across the main paved road (Hwy 14). They landed East of the oil processing facility near the 4×4 road and West of the house there. Roxana tracked it with her Big Red Bee. She said…   Read more»

I’ll just attach you name to the return field;-)

Nathan was helpful to Mike S. and me during a long search for a 5,000 foot flight. He is the young guy from the ranch to the due east of the site.He seemed rather interested and helpful, once he understood…   Read more»

Jack, I will be there, but I’m Tripoli and judging by your signature line you are NAR?PS What motor are you using?

Near idiot proof, as I proved!Singly deploy, piston design, CTI two grain 54mm J-280 Smokey Sam (11 sec delay) to 4500 feet or so.Check out my flights in the Launch Logs under the rocket name Toothless. The delay is from…   Read more»

Gave me first rocket honors too!Hope to see you before too long.

As I’ve flown multiple rockets with each and a DC-30 or DC-40.I’ve yet to stuff the dog collar and the altimeter in the nosecone though…

Edward,I am definitely heading towards a hybrid rocket. It’s on my list of things to do. Next year is likely.Steve J.

Jack just bought it. He showed me the interior and it looks very nice.

If I come across a rocket being dragged by the wind, I’ll restuff the chute to stop the dragging and mark the location.It’s amazing the distance that rockets can be dragged.Also, if it’s a small rocket, I’ll usually pick it…   Read more»

Thanks for the info. They’re reasonably priced too!

as the forward closure migrates to all 75 mm motor cases.

Yes, the blue Locktite in combination with a lock washer do it nicely. I agree with Edward, you need both.
