For those of you playing with your own altimeters and flight computers, I came across a VERY interesting altimeter chip today. SPI interface, 16bit, 10-1100 mBar, individually calibrated, integral te...

Absolutely a pleasure to meet Dr. J and for him to come out and spend 3 days hanging out with us. Cesaroni definitely supports this hobby. Warren

Congratulations!!!! 37K+ is impressive. Warren

I want to take this opportunity to thank all the people who helped me get my successful L3 certification flight this weekend. First, the folks who directly helped me deal with the myriad final details...

I'll look into it, but I've never heard of PhpBB doing that (PhpBB is the forum module here within the site). As the forum software has to be adapted to PhpNuke, the site content manager, it's not as ...

I probably shouldn't be lazy and should go search for the old thread about Mike's travails with on-pad deployment, but I seem to recall it was a completely different, home brew transmitter IN the e-ba...

Exactly Adrian. Best explanation I've heard is the surgical tubing keeps the burning and unburned BP in contact longer allowing for more complete combustion. Warren

My wife, Lea, and I discussed doing food at O'fest (she has cooked for the annual meeting for the last 2 years) but we didn't want to step on anyone else and Kandy had come twice before so we just ass...

I'm not a pyrodex user, nor likely to be. I'll probably go to CO2-based systems for serious altitude shots if I head that way. The idea of the surgical tubing is to contain the burning BP until it bur...

Fin flutter is a real interesting problem. If you'd like, come by my EZ-Up (probably next to the admin EZ-Up on the flight line) and I'll show you some fins meant to handle Mach 2 or better. Warren

There are a LOT of variables to that question - first two would be the size and shape of the fins. The larger the semi-span, the more prone to fracture due to flexing. Conversely, the shorter the semi...

Knowing Art, he'll probably fly A through N this weekend in about 2 hours start to finish.... Warren

I know it's down on paper, but just a reminder that I'm LCO from 8 until noon on Saturday and will gladly go to 2PM if no one has signed up. I'll also do Friday AM LCO duty. Warren

Tim, I just want to remind you I need to borrow the AT 98/7680 case for that M1419 reload you sold me. I'm planning on flying Friday afternoon. Warren

I've switched over completely to the gum rubber hose method for charges. I have been using wire ties, but I like Doug Gerard's idea of hose clamps even better. I haven't flow anything else in 3 years ...
