Thanks to all the guys who wind allowing, would have made it a great launch. Joe, John S., John W., and Bear for the tow.

Can we get a source that is less of a gamble(r)? A lot of us liked the PR kits, but if PR is too much of a CF to deal with, where else can we get fiberglass tubing? I bought a chunk from Hawk Mountain...

are a must. Heftier ones than you think you need seem to reap benefits. On the other hand, if failure deterred us, we'd have all quit! Nothing is guaranteed, only death, taxes, and if your rocket goe...

I flew my Pork Arrow at Hartsel and had a partial as in NON-separation at Apogee. You could see an apogee event of sorts, but no separation. Someone said "it's still traveling..." giving me a rather ...

Tell us so we can all watch! Some times we are all so busy doing our own things at launches that we miss some of the good stuff. I'm not too concerned about failures, as long as I learn from them. L...

Crap. Something new to worry about 😉 Per Wilke: "or a nosecone ablating to where a hole forms" Uh, this is something I have not worried about. I've had polystyrene over Mach 1 with no obvious damage...

Long time no see. I know Larry Haynes and I will be driving up together. I bring some grind and some milk, as some of us like it other than black...

In the club, we've at least 5-8 guys with Garmin Astros and DC-20/DC-30 Dog collars. I've sent up four different rockets with the tracker this year. I've tracked one four miles from the launch area. I...

I am in process of building the 4inch -- 75mm--MMT variant. It will be fun to see the 3, 4, and 5 inch fly at MHM. Maybe I should buy the 3 inch too... Drool

I am eyeballing a L3 Cert, but it's a couple of years away. I still have much to learn. I took four tries to get my L2. I want to drop this number for my L3. No rush. Joe is right, approach it slowl...

I use a cheap ($59.00) tile saw with a diamond blade ($20.00) both from Harbor Freight. Works well wet, as I do not like FG dust. I do have a large disk sander to square the edges. I know someone who...

Probably space junk or something that's classified... Pretty sure if it's big our satellite defense systems know of it.

is cruel. If we'd only had this rain two weeks ago...

separated at apogee and the chute came out at 10,500 feet (or so) the unlimbered chute carried it 2+ miles directly over the windmill to the northeast. Deployment of the main at apogee was bad. Separ...

combined with a bit of science. Having over charged my Little Dog Dual Deploy, I got so much velocity from the apogee deployment charge on my booster section that it sped away from the rest of the roc...
