The discussion on when to hold Oktoberfest has been ongoing for years. We had a similar weather experience in 2006 as I recall and we pushed it up to the 1st weekend in October. However, BALLS then go...

OK, no Hypertek K. By the way Ed, it is the 54/835cc tank and uses the J grain with a smaller orifice.

I was actually planning on trying to fly a Hypertek K this time around, so I would appreciate the Hypertek stuff being in the trailer.

OK. No surgery this week - I'll be out to Oktoberfest Friday and Saturday and I may even fly an M. Warren

Ed, you probably did press Save. However, I probably overwrote it - I didn't even pay attention. For at least the last 5 years I've traditionally taken the Saturday morning to early afternoon shifts -...

I hope I can be there to see this baby fly. Well done and very well documented Ed.

I claimed my standard Saturday 8AM-2PM LCO shifts as usual, however I should put a warning out there - I may have to go in for shoulder surgery (rotator cuff, SLAP) the week of O-fest. MRI this Friday...

Congratulations Tim!!!!

Sorry I didn't make it today guys - I think this is the first cleanup I've missed since '03. However, I spent the time in the machine shop working on something so the time was not ill spent. I can com...

We are verging into political terrain here and like my daddy told me, there are 4 things people don't talk about in polite company - religion, politics, personal sex practices, and how much money you ...

Bob, you can't do anything on the inside surface of the closure - you wouldn't be able to install the delay grain and that is the primary thing that holds the case under pressure. Without the delay gr...

For the brief time it was active, I was a part of the Big Project - a TRA group who was thinking it might be possible to throw something small into orbit on an amateur basis. After almost 2 years, the...

Oh, by the way, on the original CTI forward closure post. Build the motor including the delay grain, plug the flash hole to the ejection well with grease and install no ejection charge, just stuff the...

Heli-coils (STI thread) have greater external thread contact area to the base material than the standard thread bolt or screw has to the interior. The heli-coil, in theory, will not fail until the bol...

I would bet one of the strap-ons alone would put a couple hundred pounds at least into LEO. Given that UP Aerospace and Cesaroni both have casually quoted me $50K for a T-class motor, you'd probably b...
