What are they equivalent to in terms of black powder? I have a 4″ and 6″ project on the drawing board and CO2 will have to be a major part of both recovery systems on both projects.Warren

I would agree with John, the Proline wet out somewhat better than West Systems, although not so you’d notice unless you’ve used a lot of West Systems. I’d personally give it a try – with a scale it’s not much…   Read more»

Personally I’m a West Systems guy, but I do consider the Aeropoxy resin to be a superior product in terms of its characteristics. I use West largely because I have very long experience with it in boat building and like…   Read more»

I dunno… I haven’t had the problem so I would suggest you clear your cookies – if you know what I mean. It’s a browser thing. Call me and I can walk you through it.Warren

I would consider this a “flaw” – yes it is purposefully done, but it is ridiculous. Better it should read out 99,999 feet instead of an altitude within it’s ostensible range. Jason Chamberlin turned in a 20K flight a while…   Read more»

What about some sort of accelerometer based deal? Shouldn’t be too hard to work out the code for it. If Main Deployed AND speed = 0 for period > 30 seconds, release chute. Of course you’d need a bit more…   Read more»

Coot Lake was shut down more than 5 years ago… I drive by almost daily on my way home to Longmont from Boulder and it’s been a very long time since it was as “scenic” as it used to be.W

There is no financing available and clean up cost are estimated to be another couple million on top. It would make a dandy hardened data center if the place were fully refurbished and you walled off the silos. There is…   Read more»

The silo east of Aurora is a 3 silo complex for the Titan 1. It is for sale for $2.8M and includes 60,000 sq ft of underground space in addition to the silos themselves. The silos are from 50-60 feet…   Read more»

Well, it’ll all depend on whether Conway comes out to the launch with this stuff – I’ll have cash in hand and all I want is the shooters wire. The rest is all yours. :DIf he isn’t coming out to…   Read more»

Conway – I call dibs on the shooters wire. Name your price, I’ll be out at the launch this weekend.Warren

I have the same problem with the buttons.W

Don’t feel bad Doug, when I bought my pair of Mini’s, Jim walked through it with me twice and gave me this nice little reference card. I still can’t be sure I’ve programmed the thing right. I made an L1300…   Read more»

I’ve started a new thread to show the info I’ve collected on the Atlas Site.W

There are most definitely active sites around Warren AFB. I believe nearly 100 Minuteman silos are still going with Minuteman III. All MX Peacemakers (only 100 ever built) have been removed from the silos (2005 I believe) and are being…   Read more»

Minuteman II, Minuteman III and an MX Peacekeeper. Gotta love it – our finest engineering used for mass destruction. The MX (they’re all decommissioned now) could deliver 10 dial-a-yield warheads capable of 40 kT up to 450 kT – plus…   Read more»

Basically, my experience with Curtis at Performance Rocketry is he doesn’t ship a damn thing until you’ve called him very irate at least twice and threatened to call the BBB and sue him. I once waited 6 months for a…   Read more»

The windmill is gone? Bet you it was metal salvage thieves…W

What time are you planning on flying John? That is what is going to determine when I come up. 100+ degrees is what I’m hearing for tomorrow. Should be perfect for a big boost.W

I believe Saturday is certified motors only and Sunday is TRA Research rules. That’s the way it was planned – Joe would have to pipe up if that has changed.Warren
