Has been painful at times. With Parrots and Perfectflites getting so small, I'm thinking of running wires down from a nosecone (PML Intellicone) or small payload bay to the piston and fixing a charge...

US Balance US-MAGNUM-1000XR 1000 g x 0.1g Digital Pocket Jewelry Gram Scale I bought it from a seller listed on Amazon for about $25.00 delivered. It measures in grams, ounces, grains, etc. Easy to r...

As it differs with my approach. Your experience is invaluable. I think I'm overbuilding, think 57 Chevy. I'm going to try something radically different along your lines and see how it goes. This is ...

"PL Premium polyurethane glue (from Lowes) to secure the fins" You are using this to attach the fins internally? The MMT connection makes sense. How about the internal fillets? I foam my fin cans, bu...

as it is small and supposedly idiot proof, which may help me or not... I've heard numerous comments about the "error" of barometric altimeters. Any helpful hints or suggestions? I am placing one in th...

Finished the fillets tonight. Will foam the fin can tomorrow and paint by the week end. I take it Level Two Testing and Certification can be done without undue planning before Oktoberfest? Is there a...
