I'll take one Adrian. About time I stop talking about it and fly one in one of my birds. Can you bring one with you to the June launch? Warren

Lovely... just f*cking lovely...

I didn't know about this until Saturday morning and was very glad to see in the chain of emails that I found in my box that you folks, Art, Conway and everyone else were uninjured. All my best to ever...

I can't comment on airstarts since I've never done them, but I ALWAYS sand the inside of my top grain with 80 grit sandpaper before assembling the motor. I also use a rat-tail file to rough up the top...

What is the optimal size (radius) for a fin fillet to minimize interference drag? There must be a formula based on some combination of airframe diameter, root chord length, fin thickness, fin semi-spa...

I'll take that motor tube - I need a mandrel for making carbon tubing. Warren

Getting small altitude rockets back is the biggest challenge of all. My optimal mass predictions for F and smaller barely have had room for the traditional altimeters I've been using (mostly Perfectfl...

Should only be a few minutes before we know... then the first image... of the solar arrays. Once we get that, I can go out for dinner and a beer. Warren

Watched it live... well, watched a bunch of nervous people at consoles suddenly jump up and down screaming "WooHOO!!!" Nice when we get it right... Lots of hugs going on in Mission Control. Warren

Thanks Adrian... live now on the big screen in the living room... well, 15 minutes and some delayed from Mars... and mostly showing mission control. Warren

I think the L330's advantage aside from the diameter is its long burn. Also some of the tweaks you used such as the really teeny tailcone and other innovations to shorten the length of the bird really...

I stand corrected John. I had remembered that K shot as taking place at MHM, but checking my flight log I realized I never flew anything in 07 and that MHM 07 was more or less rained out. John, you re...

Adrian, I've got all the respect in the world for you and what you do. However, there is no way a 29mm bird on an F10 is going to go to 8400+ feet. I'll be happy to give you an F10 to try it with - I'...

Glad to hear everyone is OK. I just got back from the river and the first thing my wife told me about when I called from the takeout was about these tornados. My thoughts are with all affected. Warren

Was discussed during one of the exec meetings at my house since last O'fest. Since we are adding staged, clusters, complex and EX altitude records, was thought that allowing motors past their cert lif...
