If you’ve got Rocksim, the motor weight will come out in the sim. Both propellant and casing.Warren

This could be a very good contest to run. I’m interested. Let’s see what kind of interest we have and we’ll run it as a contest at MHM or Oktoberfest. Call it “1 card Rocket Stud” or something.Warren

I loved my MAWD… it’s still out on the prairie in my SSS bird from an Oktoberfest flight. I’m still offering a reward if it is returned. I’ll buy another one if I don’t find the old one. I also… Read more»

The bird on the home page of this site is the UprOar flying at BALLS 06. I’m working on getting the construction photo gallery up here on the site. Give me a day or so.Warren

Warren B. Musselman replied to the topic "Vacuum Bagging" – 6 years, 1 month ago
I’ve been vacuum bagging for quite a while now. The UprOar was largely vacuum bagged for those of you who saw it at the club meeting. The fin can was repeatedly v-bagged – once for each layer, a total of… Read more»

Gentleman… This is beyond the bounds here. While this is definitely a place for spirited discussion, it is NOT a place for personal attacks – however veiled or with whatever presentation of innocence or good will.ALL competition here is good… Read more»

I’m in full agreement with this. I haven never had anyone refuse to share techniques, design info or even what in the commercial world would be called confidential proprietary engineering designs freely and with a remarkably open attitude. This is… Read more»

John, (Smolley, not Wilke), if we get significant interest in an SSS/SSSS event, we could top $1000 in the pot and for that I’d go ALL out. I have a bird, details left to the imagination, that I KNOW will… Read more»

Warren B. Musselman replied to the topic "Thoughts on Super Single Shot" – 6 years, 1 month ago
While the idea of a pot sweetened with multiple $250 bets is pretty sweet, it’s also too rich for my blood – especially competing against folks like John Wilke and Ed Dawson. I’ll stick to $20 entry fees myself.I do… Read more»

Warren B. Musselman replied to the topic "Thoughts on Super Single Shot" – 6 years, 1 month ago
I agree with John Wilke with this. I’ve victimized myself in just the same way as you do John Smolley… as in.. “oh yeah, I’ve got a whole year to get this done, I’ll do other things now, I’ve got… Read more»

Stiffness is good… no question (that almost sounds lewd) Ask Dan Stroud about the tapering method, that’s where I learned it. It is KEY to high mach flight survival no matter what the material. The change in thickness from root… Read more»

All I can say is I’ve never shredded a rocket I’ve built for Mach+ flights…. EVER. My first Cirrus handled an I600, a J350 and a J285 and never shredded. My second remains to be seen, but it too has… Read more»

I’ve built 2 Cirrus Darts. The phenolic kit intends that you use one layer of tip to tip across the fins and comes with precut 6oz glass for that purpose. If you’re planning on flying and H or I motor… Read more»

I think to start with, it is probably going to be a bigger challenge just to figure out how to pack an egg in a rocket flown on an H999. I’ll bet the yolk breaks inside the egg.Warren

Bruce Schaefer has graciously offered to handle the NAR contest details. I just get to deal with the club and Tripoli oriented stuff and do the announcements and award the prizes at the annual meetings.Warren

Warren B. Musselman replied to the topic "Contest Director" – 6 years, 1 month ago
I am still the contest director. I was overwhelmed with the idea of dealing with the NAR contests, but we found a way to deal with that without me having to deal with them.Warren
