I like Sean's idea - a modular kit. A standard booster/motor mount assembly with choices for DD and SD forward deployment modules, nosecones, etc. Each module priced separately I would assume. Warren

I go by the calculation on the rocketry online calculator and add 25%-33% and have success every time. I used to ground test, then I decided since I always build using composites that going up a bit i...

My favored method of making centering rings is to pick up the phone and call Kent Burnett of Giant Leap or (ack!) Curtis Turner of Performance Rocketry. Much easier on my tools and my lungs. I should ...

After the UprOar Project (see photo gallery) and a number of other rockets since then, I'm 100% committed to using the surgical tubing method. Cheap, disposable and VERY reliable if you use quality zi...

I don't do nosecones...the problem being the molds and gelcoat application gear. - but I know where to get them. I also most definitely will do tubing if you provide the mandrel. My speciality is fin ...

John and I found a VERY nice tower... - 54mm up to 7.5", no fin span limitation. Starting price I believe is about $1500. Warren

Joe, could you email me your current version of alphabet contest rules so I can edit and post. The new Hi-DEF contest rules ARE posted as of yesterday and the Triple Shot (H-I-J) contest rules will be...

My S. Platte fishing has been strictly limited to winter tailwater fishing with scuds and very tiny nymphs in the Winter since fly fishing became a yuppie status symbol and I largely gave it up years ...

In general, unless there is an overriding reason subject to wide discussion, consensus, probable vote at the annual meeting, and in the end, the judgment of the executive committee (President, Prefect...
