Why 6-32's Bruce? I have 3 x 4-40 nylon screws and they hold things together just fine and surely shear when I do a deployment test. Warren

I'd love to burn one of your motors Ed, but I do have a question. What do you get in the way of residue on the aft end of the rocket? Warren

You've seen more hybrid flights than I have John - that's for sure. All I know is that all of my Hypertek flights ignited cleanly and flew well. Bill Beggs had several very nice M flights and only one...

I will totally dispute what John Wilke (IFlyRockets) says about RATT versus Hypertek motors. In my time with NCR (the last 3 years) there has never been a Hypertek failure - that includes all motors f...

Speaking of N motors, there are NO official NCR altitude records for that impulse class. Since you and Art are the only ones who have flown N motors at NCR launches, one or the other of you should put...

John Wilke still holds the maximum NCR altitude record with his L shot at MHM last year - 23K+. We're hoping to significantly increase that record this year. I have an L bird and if I get around to do...

These days I use pistons on everything I build under 4" and over 29mm IF it is made of FWFG or Convolute FG. I have used them on phenolic birds, but don't recommend it. I use it on all my PML kits bui...

I use either steel or nylon standoffs and make my sleds out of G10. Warren

My oven is 2" black polyisocyanurate foam with foil on both sides. It takes down and packs flat and has 3 150 watt light bulbs and a thermostatic controller from Grainger. Works awesome. Warren

If the tubing is FWFG, it WILL be heavier than Sonotube and an appropriate number of wraps of glass fabric. Convolute wound glass tubing will be lighter for an appropriate strength. Warren

Glen Colon-Benet, our Tripoli Secretary, is responsible for that system. Warren

What impresses me is the list of names involved and the type of projects they're talking about - more so the intent to get waivers up to 380K' for amateur sub-orbital flights. My only bitch is Ky Mich...

I've never had one fail that I know of, but mostly I use redundant matches and redundant altimeters except on altitude shots so it's entirely possible I've had matches fail. My SSS bird could well be...

Personally, I use Daveyfire 28-B for the most part although I also have a pile of 28BR's... best ematchs going. Oxrals are also reliable. I haven't used Mteks very much in flight, though used them a b...

You want to use an e-match, NOT an igniter. There are a variety out there if you can find them. Giant Leap sells M-Tek's on occasion. Others to keep an eye out for are Oxral, Daveyfire, and others as ...
