Don’t forget Project Daedelus

OK – the window of opportunity is closing – I have to head to Longmont NOW. However, I’m only 25 minutes from Longmont and just 10 minutes up the canyon from Lyons. I’ll be home the rest of the day….   Read more»

I can drop it off today, later this morning. Call me, 303-823-5059. I have to head to Longmont and be back by noon or 1 at the latest.

What happened was the case got dinged on the rear end, so John had it cut down and new snap ring grooves machined. I have all closures and the nozzle. I’ve never flown it, but John said he has and…   Read more»

I have a 75/6000 case I would gladly donate to the project. It used to belong to John Wilke and was slightly damaged so is 1/4″ shorter than factory new. I believe it only flew once.

Only one answer Mike -get your butt down here and lets v-bag some tip to tip for you.

My rule of thumb – 29mm, little pieces of plastic; 38mm and 54mm 2-56 screws. 3″, 4″ 4-40 screws. Anything about that, break out the 6-32 screws. Bigger than 6″, 10-24… always nylon of course.

I’ve been using West Systems for over 20 years – first boats, then an airplane and extensively in rockets. I don’t use it to tack things though – takes too long to cure and in anything where there is heat…   Read more»

The O powered Nike Smoke was scrubbed due to high winds early in the day. The Proton M was finally assembled on the pad, but not until 4:30 or so and the winds were just too much. There were calm…   Read more»

Aside from being a bit thin in the wallet, my wife is out of town and I can’t find anyone to housesit and take care of my two geriatric animals even during the day. Such is life, not ready to…   Read more»

As of today it has become clear that I will not be able to attend MHM. My apologies to all.

I won’t delete anyone, but for 8 years I have traditionally taken the Saturday AM slots from 8AM until noon and will continue to plan on that LCO slot for both MHM and O-fest until either I burn out or…   Read more»

IF I am able to show up, I have the Saturday AM 8-noon LCO shift. Otherwise, have at it folks.By the way, where is that web crew who supposedly took over the website?

Congrats Chad. I’d have to go dig out the old altitude record rules, but as I recall the bird must be in flyable shape on recovery… however, we may have dropped that rule – I remember a discussion on this…   Read more»

Looks pretty much like my L3, though perhaps a bit longer since I cut mine down length-wise to get more altitude. Mine was also a 5″ bird with a 98mm motor mount.

It was bought by an already L3 flyer for a new project he hasn’t even started yet. I’ll let him decide whether to say who he is. Awesome motor though and I’m sad to have to part with it.

SOLD!

I want to remind folks I do have a CTI M795 moonburner reload for sale – a spectacular 12 second burn motor. THE motor to fly if you want some serious altitude. Looking to sell ASAP. I paid around $500…   Read more»

I also have 3 or 4 J570 Aerotech reloads for the 38/1080 case. I won’t sell them all, but $70 each is what I paid.Also AMW reloads – two L1300 Blue Baboons, a K975 SuperTiger, and several others for the…   Read more»

by the way, this is a 12.5 second burn M motor… you want altitude, this is the bad boy for a 4 grain motor. I have an MD rocket designed around it simmed with RASAero to near 46K’.
