I'm the process of doing my L3 and I need to borrow a 98 mm Aerotech or AMW case to check sizing and fit on my motor mount - a custom machined aluminum deal. Preferably it would be the Aerotech 98/102...

2 Watts is an enormous amount of power for HPR telemetry and direction finding. Most commercial rockets use 5W or less for ranges up to 70 miles line of site. Once you get above 250mW, you get into se...

Congrats to the folks that cert'd today. While I wanted to fly, I just didn't feel like trudging across the rapidly melting snow drifts. Instead, I worked on my L3 project that finally found it's name...

I'm in touch with a buddy of Doug's and moving forward. Other folks, particularly math-involved programmers or sensor involved hardware guys are welcome to step up to the plate and will be much apprec...

Don't feel bad guys, I have a 4" MD project I just started that is designed around the M795 CTI motor that simms over 33K and another one designed around the N1100 that simms to nearly 46K. The crux w...

Oh well. One Month later Im a lot smarter That's the way it goes in this hobby. Theory will only get you so far - actual practice is necessary to determine what actually works. I learned the hard way ...

What Ed said... Warren

I've been working for some time on a fully programmable data acquisition and telemetry downlink package that will eventually contain full flight controls for complex rockets. After much fiddling about...

We had a call-in of 30K arranged for MHM and Oktoberfest in 2006, but it didn't get granted for 2007. We're working on something similar this year, but don't have any idea if it will happen. Joe is wo...

You burned an H180 motor indoors?!!! My my... better that it was your garage than mine. Somewhere out on the web is a video of a guy doing a static test IN HIS GARAGE. Guess his test stand wasn't so ...

This tower will be easy then. I just need to fabricate a triangle of square thin wall tubing to hold the top end rigid and perhaps add some eye bolts there for guy lines and it's ready to use. Probabl...

That's a great motor - I have one sitting in my buddy's magazine right now and planning on flying it in a minimum diameter bird either at Mile High Mayhem or in June. Warren

Sorry Conway - you said tower and I immediately thought large rocket needing a rail. The bicycle tower and Bob Messner's tower aren't big enough to handle a 4" bird even though they'd probably adjust ...

The largest tower we have is the Swing Set which sports a 16' rail. Art launched the Event Horizon from it which had a flight weight of over 300#. I'm not sure what the rail on it is but it's bigger t...

Actually our 1010 and 1515 rails are mostly 8' sections although we do have a couple old Blacksky rails (same as the 1010 for buttons) that are 6' and a couple sections of 1515 that are only 6' long. ...
