I am still the contest director. I was overwhelmed with the idea of dealing with the NAR contests, but we found a way to deal with that without me having to deal with them. Warren

I loved my MAWD... it's still out on the prairie in my SSS bird from an Oktoberfest flight. I'm still offering a reward if it is returned. I'll buy another one if I don't find the old one. I also have...

The bird on the home page of this site is the UprOar flying at BALLS 06. I'm working on getting the construction photo gallery up here on the site. Give me a day or so. Warren

I've been vacuum bagging for quite a while now. The UprOar was largely vacuum bagged for those of you who saw it at the club meeting. The fin can was repeatedly v-bagged - once for each layer, a total...

I've flown my Hypertek without a single problem. Biggest bitch was mounting up the fill stem assembly to the rail I was using and getting it all tweaked in so in moved freely when the tie-downs melted...

You gotta love composites... 10x the work of a cardboard rocket. Warren

Thank you very much Chris... I stand re-educated. I must say, you are one impressive teenager. I'm still very impressed with the Deuce on two J800's... such a pretty launch and perfect flight. Get tha...

Stiffness is good... no question (that almost sounds lewd) Ask Dan Stroud about the tapering method, that's where I learned it. It is KEY to high mach flight survival no matter what the material. The ...

What's the math involved in this? Show me the formula since I must admit to forgetting all that stuff I learned in college - I finished engineering school (at least the ME portion) before you were bor...

How did you figure the G load? Accelerometer and a computer data acquisition system? Warren

When you've got an engineering degree and can back up your contention on the shape of fins with facts, figures and money... I'm there... until then, I'll go with my anecdotal experience and what I've ...

All I can say is I've never shredded a rocket I've built for Mach+ flights.... EVER. My first Cirrus handled an I600, a J350 and a J285 and never shredded. My second remains to be seen, but it too has...

I've built 2 Cirrus Darts. The phenolic kit intends that you use one layer of tip to tip across the fins and comes with precut 6oz glass for that purpose. If you're planning on flying and H or I motor...

I think to start with, it is probably going to be a bigger challenge just to figure out how to pack an egg in a rocket flown on an H999. I'll bet the yolk breaks inside the egg. Warren
